It's a joke...
In case you haven't noticed, the page you were viewing is not for real.

It started out as a parody of an eBay guitar ad, but quickly took on a life of its own. Most of the links do not work, but a few of them do:

The eBay guitar ad parody
The "home page" of the seller
The eBay feedback page for the seller
Other auctions by the seller

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some people, of course, just don't get it. Here's an email I received from someone who, apparently, has no sense of humor:

Are you stupid or something? Only a dumbass would fall for that.
Fender strats don't have yamaha any where on them. 1950 strats
don't have rosewood necks, they have maple. That is not a $15,500
guitar, that is a $130 guitar. If you ain't sure that is a yamaha pacifica
112. Just thought you might like to knnow how big a f***ing ediot you are.

Or, maybe he was just playing along with the joke. Yeah, that's gotta be it. Nobody is that stupid.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: This is not intended to poke fun at eBay (which is a fine company that performs a great service). Rather, it is intended to poke fun at sellers who use eBay to rip-off unsuspecting people.

Still, it's pretty funny...

Six metal knobs at the end of the neck -- one for each string! Turn them with your finger to change the sounds!.

Three pickups with a selector switch! Three pickups makes it very loud!! Some non-vintage guitars only have two pickups. They are not as loud.

Well, maybe that's why I posted it in the Bass Humor & Gig Stories forum don't you think?
