very poor fake on ebay
« on: May 11, 2015, 08:57:47 AM »
Who takes the time to create such things is beyond me but this guitar is so "off" it's a wonder someone put in all that time.  These poor pawnshops don't know any better, at least I hope they don't know any better!  I have yet to hear back from them.

That has to be one of the worst fakes I have ever seen. >:(

Agreed.  The fact that they call it a 710 (as if) in their ad makes me wonder if the shop isn't in on the scam.  Unless the person who pawned it counterfeited an internal sticker...

I think I saw that one before.  At one point it (or another equally-poor knock-off) was being offered as a Taylor "719;" no such animal...  May have even been from the same pawn outfit...

Caveat emptor...

The only comment I can muster "I definitely agree".
