funny how they never actually have a photo of the headstock complete!

truss rod adjustment port all wrong
string tree in the wrong position
cheap copy machine heads
1st inlay wrong shape

Someone asked the question ...

Q: So is this a fender deluxe or not? Couldn't tell as your description is a bit ominous. Also, with hardcase or without?

A: my brother (whom I'm selling it for) cant be sure it's 100% genuine... although it has made in the USA on neck ,the serial number starts with the letter J... so he's a little cautious over its origins. ..hence advertised as "STYLE" (its a good copy if it's not genuine!)... it will be shipped in a hard case but not a guitar case...a genuine one is around £1700.. so whatever it makes it's a bargain... it's in good condition and has been used as his second (spare) guitar

This reminds me of that Harley Benton Jazz that was being sold (for more than they are new from Thomann) on eBay recently where the guy again claimed that he wasn't an expert on basses but said it was every bit as good as a Fender. One or two BCers contacted him to test his response and that guy was similarly defensive.

[color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]this is a fake..100% sure[/size][/font][/color]
[b][color=#ff0000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]he replied:[/size][/font][/color][/b]
[color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]it points to that. ... that's why it's cheap and advertised as fender"style"[/size][/font][/color]
[b][color=#a52a2a][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]so I replied:[/size][/font][/color][/b]
[color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]Yeah but the ad title says Fender Jazz, so it's misleading on purpose.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]You should put 'copy' in the title so it's perceived as 'honest'[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]'Style' in a snide way of conning the gullible.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3].and the crap about my brother cant be sure its genuine....[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]so im informing you i'm 100% sure its not but you wont make my message public will you?[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]And what about the deluxe [/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]bit?[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]A deluxe Fender has active electronics[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]The solid black back is a bit a give away - I feel sorry for the guy who buys this off you, and its starting to look expensive now![/size][/font][/color]

Reported it to eBay as a fake and for copyright infringement. Hopefully they will do something before the auction ends!
[/quote]lots of us have, but unless you're selling a fake Rolex Ebay don't seem to care.
