as some of you here had found out...i bought a electric guitar...and i got conned

thx for a few bros here helping me confirm the authenticity of the guitar...im facing a few hundred ringgit of loss here...

to be honest...i buy things based on a buyer trust seller policy...and this guy by the name Akira had been a VERY dishonest seller

thx again to a few musicians that helped me on reducing my loss...sad to think that we have Malaysians preying on fellow newbies buying guitar

hope this lesson of mine could help new/inexperience/ignorant guitar buyers like me to be very careful in the future

hope LYN trade enforcers would be very strict on these unethical ppl that invaded our trade zone

guide:

looks worse than whats on SX guitars.

i think the sound is the least of his worries.
cos he bought something which was claimed to be 99% true to the original with high grade materials.

one look at the trem block already u know its crap.

The trem block does look like its on a diet.. doh.gif

and "SERAL NUMBER"... fail.

But anyway thanks for letting us know, icyfawkes. Did you ever discuss your concerns with the seller?

It wouldn't hurt, right?

And seeing that his name are being brought up here, hopefully he will do something good to clear his name, a refund, a compromise, whatever... anything to makes it a win/win situation.

All the best bro.
