Headless Squire

[raventepes]

Just wondering if this is legit or not. I was browsing for headless basses and this popped up.

Wait... the description says 6-string and purple?

 

[tangentmusic]

It also says it ships from South Korea. Another fake? I've never seen one of these.

 

[raventepes]

Regardless of the description, the whole thing has me confused, namely with a headless Squire bass to begin with.

 

[KingKrabb]

Yeah, I've never even heard of Headless Fenders. Let alone Squiers...

 

[Roland GR 88]

Very much a fake and an obvious one too. The L1 didn't debut until 1981 and Gibson bought the company in 1987.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

I would be very, very surprised if this was legit.

That's a Cort, resprayed red, with a Squier logo slapped on it.

That's so pathetic it hurts.
At least it implies that Squier should be considered / taken seriously, above Squier.
The irony being that Cort makes a lot of Squiers.

To be fair, it does state Cort as the OEM...if you're gonna go this far in your listing, why rebrand it in the first place? Seems a silly waste of effort either way.

A very unusual fake. That's a lot of fraud for an additional $100. Tiny US dollars, even.

But the description "Headless squire" just makes me think of a more medieval translation. "Did he offend thee milord? I shall fetch another to replace him straightaway!"

 

[OnederTone]

It's so fake it almost goes full circle to awesome....

 

[Maxdusty]

Even more sad is that there's one bid for it...

 

[Sid Fang]

The photo is of a red 4-string, but the item information on eBay says it's a purple 6-string...

 

[BioWeapon]

The logo on the headstock is a dead giveaway! ;DD

 

[rojo412]

There was a Squier Protone V that was converted to a headless, for sale on the classifieds back in November...

But the one on eBay is a hilarious farce.

Why fake a Squier?

 

[God's Favorite Bass]

That is quite possibly the WORST decal ever...in the history of decaldom! The screen printing is SO far off between the silver and black.

@jetbike...because rare is rare and regardless of marquee (Squier, etc) it will fetch a higher price if there aren't many of them.

As GT said, Cort re sprayed red w/ bogus decal but a decent quality bass, probably better than or definitely as good as it's dodgy namesake
