Well, maybe not a scam, but someone is trying to sell their used guitar at a new list price by not being totally honest. Guitar pictured is a mexican dlx fat strat, but the reviews he posted are for an American dlx fat strat. Is this morally okay? Does it bother anyone else but me?

Norfolk sucks. That is all. Gator Navy? You're over at Little Creek I presume. I'm stationed over there, with SBT-20.

My first command was at Little Creek. Stationed in Norfolk now, and man, do I miss the Little Creek base!

The spacing of the 6 forward bridge plate screws and the presence of the plastic sleeve in the headstock for the truss rod are both indicative of MIM origin.
