Well the guy said it was a 70's reissue strat.. and scaloped like the malmsteen one, and he also wanted to trade it for a peavey 6505 head that I'm selling.. I think I better not trade the 6505 for that guitar.. what you think? by the way I live in Guatemala.. no Guitar Center nor Sam ash over here he!

You can't make a silk purse out of a pig's ear.

In reviewing the responses, you should know that you have had the benefit of analysis and expertise from some extremely knowledgeable members of the forum who are themselves fellow artists, perfomers in their own right, luthiers, electronics and components gurus, and collectors
of long-standing.

Keep the amp, pass on the guitar, and save your dinero and potential tradeables for what you are sure is represented as genuine gear og equal or greater value.

We can certainly consult with you on anything you are considering in the future.
