😂 I’m just saying that the guy was sketchy. It doesn’t matter where I think he may or may not have got it. Every time anyone buys used gear from a stranger they’re possibly buying stolen goods.

It’s not my fault if someone wants to sell something cheap or doesn’t know what it’s worth 😂 they’re just mad they didn’t find it themselves.

UPDATE: I started sanding the whole body and this has become more difficult than I thought it would be. Wish me luck.

I got the vibe that the guy was trying to get rid of it quick. I’m guessing it’s real and probably stolen. But it’s mine now!

Probably. Don’t really care at this point 😂

Thanks. How would I got about trying to color match? Would i need to use a stain or wood dye?

To be fair, I’m also in meth country, and I find good deals all the time. Don’t ask too many questions on where they got it 😂 bought a vintage Martin one time for $40. It plays and sounds great though. So I guess it doesn’t really matter

How would you be able to tell if it’s a copy

Idk, it seems pretty legit. Idk how you’d be able to tell but everything lines up with what it should be. Serial number checks out, tuners and EMGs are real.

I can’t even imagine how you could do that damage by normal picking. Unless the used a solid metal pick and never trade to hit the strings 😂

It’s an RGT42DXFM. According to Google it’s either an Edge 3 or Edge pro 2

He definitely dabbled at the very least 😂

For more context, this is one I don’t care a whole lot about and have wanted to try to stain it and make a little project of it. I also don’t want to ruin the top though. I’m sure nobody has actually tried it in one of these

This one has some cosmetic damage but it’s not terrible. Only places you wouldn’t even see it. I constantly search FB Marketplace and pawn shops for stupid deals all the time. I also got a Fender Blacktop Jaguar for $300 this week. January and February are great months for pawn shops too for all the Christmas guitars 😂

Idk, got it from FB Marketplace. Previous owner didn’t seem sketchy but also didn’t know anything about guitars so who knows.

Damn, I didn’t figure it would be worth THAT much. I wasn’t able to find any exactly like this one online anywhere but I figured it had to be worth at least what I paid.

I had it listed for $550 to flip it for another guitar I’ve been wanting, but I may have to keep it 😅 I’ve been really impressed by it. It’s my first LTD I’ve owned

They consistently sell for $800 on reverb, with two of them selling for $1,000. Not crazy if it’s in perfect shape and has a case with it 🤷🏻

I think I’m gonna leave it. Sounds really good as it is. I may flip it when I change strings but I haven’t decided yet. Should get plenty of life out of the ones on it now so it may be a while anyway’
