i believe you are correct. I am looking at an SRV strat with the same logo thing on the corner.

LOL!!!

Man this topic is getting interesting every minute better than watching some thriller DVD movie......i myself looking thru pages of eBay for item selling and sold if there's a picture as close to what niki has posted..

Half now half on recipt of instrument. And now, set the western union account up in your missus's name, pay the money into that then when you receive and are happy with the guitar transfere the money to my account.

Their far too eager to sell. Im steering clear.

HEHEHEHE...! [Ceri falls about weeping with laughter at his own stupidity].

All that forensic examination of the knobs, the lacquer, the heel end... All we had to do was look in the bottom right hand corner of each photo for the clue!

It's true: scammers really are not very clever - but we all get dollar signs filling our eyes which prevents us from seeing through it.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear...!

I'm sorry it didn't work out Niki, but I'm glad you didn't get scammed my friend! Keep searching!

Yep since the garden of eden greed has been our downfall. The ever elusive 'dream deal' (like the tale of OrvilleOwners lecturer's guitar) being used as bait to take money from people with more greed than sense.

Is 'The real hustle' on bbc2 tonight. They wouldnt stand a chance against us lot.

Just be glad you have a bunch of online friends who will look out for ya.

in the ad they say the guitar is in London, then they want you to send money to Spain?? You are well advised to run away from this.

Just contacted the ad website. Let's see how long they take to pull that ad...

Anyway. So, no trip to Spain, huh?

Shame. I know a guy in Granada who used to be Johnny Rotten's drummer in PIL. Ah well: another time...

Cheers guys - C

While you wait for it to be removed give the ad a 1* rating to warn other potential buyers from being ripped off.

we must be members of some sort of "self-preservation society"
I am glad you didn't get taken. Keep looking though; you never know.

Excellent! I'm glad there's still people around who remember the original version of the movie.

Call me cheesy: I quite like the opening track too...

i only said to blow the bloody doors off.

The spanish job indeed, we'd of been the only ones getting robbed.

Theres a whole story to tell of spain, but for political reasons this isnt the place to talk of them.
