Dunno if anyone's seen this one. I'd be interested to know what anyone makes of the description and what it actually is.

Agreed its a highway1 with a urethane or polyester finished body (losing the cellulose finish) and swapped out trem and jackplate.

At £400 its a bit of a ripoff. You can buy new for £550.

That's what I thought, but he's saying it was a bargain when it was previously priced at £595.00... the implication of the whole description being that it's something more than it really is.

It sounds like a heck of a deal. If it is what it is.

Make him prove its not some junkpile before you even think about buying it.


Junkpile is the word – no intention of buying it. The seller was at first evasive and then pretty stroppy when I asked some serious questions about it.

The guy's lack of honesty p***ed me off, so I thought I'd see what you thought.

There's no way to tell much about this guitar from the photo. It could be anything.
