Hi
I'm new to this forum, hello, just bought this Custom Shop Classic from ebay which I see you guys warn against. Here is a link to some pics, check it out and tell me what you think, if it's fake, I'm impressed. Looks lovely, sounds and plays superb, has the notch on the bridge pickup etc. I checked the serial number with fender after reading the posts here on the forum, I got a very speedy reply and it was all good.

I buy from eBay all the time. Buy from power sellers and such, do your homework and you'll be rewarded. Dont know how much you paid but the guitar looks nice.

He had over 1000 feedback all positive, says he gets his guitars from a friend who runs a shop in the States. I paid £1275 after some haggling, it was up for £1495, advertised as new which it appears to be

I think we're all the same way. I must stay away from eBay for now but I'll be back once I sell some stuff on CL.

Man thats nice to know you got a deal. I bought mine through ebay using my time proven method of contact the seller and offer em the BIN price they want for cash on collection. They get to miss out on ebays rippoff fee's, I get to play the guitar before I pay.

Great guitars, love mine.

I heard Guitar made in China is very cheap, some eBay sellers just get their stock from China and resell it for a high profit.
