And what the heck would a recording studio be doing with a freak instrument like that, eh?
I smell a rat...  |

"Due to overwhelming response, I will not set a price." What is this, craigbay? I hate craigslist posters that pull that stupid gag. |

I imagine playing that thing is like having several girlfriends at once. It probably seemed like fun at first but........

|  | Coffee is a state of mind. | | Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Bergen County, New Jersey | | | Firewood or a scam or he put the grammatical errors intentionally...
"This guitars" - referring to it being a multi-neck instrument.
"All of these guitar" - again, see above.
etc...
Or it could just be an idiot who has no grasp of the English language!!

But at least it's under 90 lbs.

Does he offer to ship the item, and then scam that way?

But wait, the point of that ad isn't to find a buyer, it's to gather valid email addresses for phishing/spamming.
