I wouldn't be surprised if this was another ... how shall I put it... "replica"... ahum...

Can you be more specific?   Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 8:24 am:    Looks to me like somone got a good deal!   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 3:18 pm:    Unless it's a fake! There are a few thing I find very strange about this ad. The guy can't spell the name of Paul Gilbert. He write "Paul Girbert". So you can't claim that you should have got a "Paul GiLbert", because that was NOT what he offered. He offered a "Paul GiRbert". Then the story: "This is an auction for Ibanez PGM301 Paul Gilbert Electric Guitar. I got this a month ago, rarely used it, and spent about $1,500. This is really good guitar, but not for me because frets are kind of too wide to me (I have very short fingers TT - this guitar is designed for a speedy play with comfortable fret grip) The only problem is there is a little tiny chip (less than 1mm) in the back as you see in the picture with my little finger but it is hardly visible. It is just a paint not the wood (easily fixible) Also, it doesn't even have any minor schratchs on it. It comes with an original prestige beautiful hard case, owner's manual, warranty...Sounds Really Good! Low Reserve! Top quality DiMarzio PAF pickup (HSH)!" What I see, is that he uses the name Paul Gilbert correct here, so o.k. the Paul GiRbert could have been a typo. But I see two sentences in which he leaves the article (a, the) out, which sounds like a Chinese take-away. I don't know... since I've seen those virgin white fake JEMs with fake serial numbers + Team J Craft decals and tags I get suspicious when I see such offers. It's just too good to be true... Nobody would take such a loss in such a short time. Or am I too sceptic?

One of them the guy relisted two times. Quite simply, a typo means less of a market audience resulting in a lower price.   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 9:04 pm:    Snowjays, I hope you're right. Because I'm getting sick and tired of these tricksters on eBay. Ginger
