Here in Denver we had a very similar sounding ad posted on our craig's list. The title read simply "guitar and speaker $100". Ad text was vague with no mention of manufacturer names or models, just "works fine needs a string on the bottom (?)...cords for speakers, very old". The accompaning pix showed a 1957-8 les paul jr tv and a blonde Vox head w/ matching 2x12 cab, both in used, but decent shape. The only id for either was the word Vox in the photo of the amp. I recognized guitar from past knowledge of this particular model. Needless to say it was a 'whoa' moment for me, the guitar alone, if the real deal, could be worth >10G's. Still things didn't seem right. My wife, bless her heart (and sensing that I might be blinded by GAS) suggested doing a google image search on the guitar. On page one of the results we found a matching (exact same one) image linked to a respectable site on historic Gibsons. Obviously the photo in the ad had been lifted from the website. Couldn't turn up anything image-wise on the Vox amp. Anyway, within hours the ad was gone. Been waiting on a reply to my e-mail enquiry to the seller. Anyone want to wager a guess as to if and when I'll hear anything? I'm betting it was a scam. Possibly hoping that the unwitting might offer to send money to "hold" the sale items. Who knows? But with the economy where it is there are likely to be a lot of scam artist crawling out from under rocks. Buyers beware.

Wow, what a chance of a life time. Make sure you get the serial number though. That means quite a lot. And more pics, more pics of the Strat and stuff would probably do you a lot of good too. :shock:

Stratmastah,
What part of Raleigh are you from? I grew up there. Went to Millbrook High. Did this person ever reply to your email? Good luck and I hope you hear back. Please keep us informed...

I look on Craigs list all the time for things like this but I would never have opened a $50.00 guitar ad... I will from now on :cry:
