I'd be careful if I were in your shoes Yoda, pix are always important in these situations. My alarm bell would be going off, no pix no deal. I'm assuming you can't go and see the guitar in person?

Not to mention, acoustics are much more fragile than an electric. A few scratches can easily lead to a few holes and cracks.

Thanks for the input guys. I think I am going to pass on this one. He said it doesn't have any strings on it so I can't try it out.
I get a little excited when I see cheap gear in the classifieds!

Smart move Yoda, when something appears too good to be true, it's just that. There will be more guitars in the classifieds, what's for you won't go past you.

"No strings attached" usually indicates a good deal. Not so with guitars! :shock:
