Sounds like a steal, trade a guitar that costs new $399 for something that is more than 3x it's value!
Ibanez Prestige, Ibanez APEX etc. Same chap who wants to trade two solid states for a Mesa half stack. I believe in looking for opportunities but this is getting ridiculous. >☹

I like how he asks for an Ibanez Apex with the "69" on the fretboard when that was actually an old run of the K7 and is rare as all hell, at least the Apex 1 wasn't that expensive, but it's still like twice the price of that LTD.

Sadly a partscaster is always going to struggle to recover what it's "worth".

sure, he might be asking a little high, but have you seen what it costs to make this exact strat from warmoth now?
not to mention the shipping charges or VAT on top of that?!

I didn't say he was asking high.
I said it was sad that he's going to struggle to recover what it's worth.

I'm embarrassed to say I had to look them up, catchy tune though! Can anyone make out what the guitar is?

LOL, I'd have to admit that their version is infinitely better than the original by Bles Bridges.

OMG it's cover, I didn't even know that! They got great voices, and the whole boy band thing down to a T, but guitar is definitely a fail.

He prob took one string off cos he wanted to learn bass guitar and they usually have 5 strings... lol...
Mind you...I have an acoustic guitar standing here with only 5 strings on... one snapped a while ago and I haven't gotten round to buying a new set as I don't play it that much.

So.... Not only did one of the only 650 or so authentic original Stradivarius violins somehow make it's way to Welkom, the seller seems to think that the best way to flog it is on OLX. And why not - I'm sure internet classifieds are absolutely brimming with people who can afford the R88 000 000.00 price tag and are willing to do so without a quick google search that shows up the seller as either the worlds most gullible idiot or the most optimistic con-artist in history.

Made in Czechoslovakia too, I see. How does one go about making an instrument in a country that won't be recognized until about 200 years after you've made it? Seem ol' Stradivarius mastered time-travel as well...
