Hellzero Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 This is the Chinese copy, horrible gloss finish, and awful knobs placement. Somebody's been fooled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Doubt anyone's been fooled - who would seriously think they're getting a real Fodera for £600? They might well have paid 2x its actual value, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 So somebody has been fooled. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Expect to see it back up for sale when they realise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 They have 2 negative feedbacks, both where they accepted offers and both describe the guitars as 'botch ups'. Wonder how this sale will go...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatcoupe432 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) I know the guy personally I ve sold him a bass and met up in person When I got there I had to deal with his mum then I realised he was only 14. He's mum was trying to knock off £300 of my old G&l I ve also sold him a carvin for about £750 and within one week was on ebay for £2999 Edited October 30, 2020 by fiatcoupe432 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
