I am not selling it.

It looks fake so I asked for the Xperts opinion.

?

The nasty blue body Gollum asked about was sold from America, the red one listed above is from a vendor in the UK.

I did find the advert for the red one to be quite amusing though, as the vendor waxes lyrically about how wonderful the guitar is, and how he originally paid over the odds because he just had to have it....so why is he selling it then?

At least he is playing it cool this time......if it is who we think it is anyway. Awfully suspicious postings though. :wink:

Here is yet another suspicious looking one.

I wonder if that is even a real fender body?

Hmmm...."wetpinkpants"?.......sounds familiar. The ad does say that the body was repainted. :roll:

If I have wrongly mistaken you for a troll, my apologies.

Just because something walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it doesn't mean that is HAS to be a duck, just usually is.
When someone brand new shows up and all their posts have links to ebay sales with topics worded in way to entice people to click on them, it just screams troll to me and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Once again, sorry if I misjudged you. Obviously you are not the seller if the guitars you are linking to are from different countries.

Why all the interest in the "Are these fake?" links Gollum?

If they are already sold you can't be considering buying them. What does it matter one way or the other?

Several of us here suspect that this "gollum" is the same troll that has been booted several times and kept coming back and attacking Xhefri about the Firestorm finishes. That loser has a real chip on his shoulder, and is messed up in the head. It really seems that gollum is that same troll, and he/she/it seems to be trying an approach this time that might not get him booted again. I hope that I am wrong, but what are the odds of someone else immediately focusing on Firestorm finishes right from their very first post? :idea:

Now the description has changed.

Is it still a real fender guitar? How could one assume the body is even authentic if it has been refinished?

I know nothing of what went before but I am inclined to agree with others suspicions. :evil:
