Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR | Seller is probably trying the ole "bait & switch" using this Martin's description to lure in the unknowing then sending a junker/beater guitar.
If you read his feedback you'll notice he got a poor track record on items he's sold in the past....looks like he's got a habit of misrepresenting items or not even sending items he's sold or paying for items he's won......
.....ebay will pull him shortly |

Location: Scotland | if the guitar in the pics is legit then it is worth every penny of the BIN, even in that condition. This will go nuts at the end of the auction. |

Location: SoCal | Unless the seller is the person who bought the guitar on ebay a couple of weeks ago, then it's a fraud. If it is the person who spent $20k, then I can't believe he'd put it up with no reserve. My guess is that this auction is a scam. |

Location: Scotland | Yep, I didn't know the background either. 20K is probably not unrealistic for this guitar, but not if it doesn't exist. There are some despicable people in this world. |
