DividedByJames Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 oh...the thread started with the Jem FP...I see where I digressed. Ok...but my words of wisdom to you are watch out for the lemons. I've gotten a few over the years and lost money over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snork Posted November 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 i read on ed roman that guys try and pass off cheaper stuff as koa...etc. but i dont think they could pass off a guitar to an educated buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 It happens. I know that IbanXXX sold ash as Korina in the early 80s. It doesnt happen in the kumber industry, it happens when someone wants more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DividedByJames Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 lemons...like a crappy car. I had one guy advertise a body as an RG, but it was an EX. I bought a "one piece" Tele, but it was a two piece separated front and back, not centerjoined like most guitars are. The problem I find with Ebay is that you can't look it over like you can at a store. Not sure about blank woods, but anyone could easily confuse/claim an AA piece is a AAAA. Those would be lemons.
