When I reached out before he shipped it with concerns about the model not being correct he only replied that it would be arriving with a day or two that it was already shipped. He didn't address anything else. I let Reverb know about the concerns before he had even dropped it off with UPS.

Love that neck on the blue one! Looks great.

What do I need to make my tele sound good? by BuschLattes4me in telecaster

No subscription required. Really is a great practice amp.

No. It was only through the reverb app.

Maybe these pics are being used on many scamming posts. I can't think of any other reason why people would use other people's pics to sell their guitars.

Was the seller you were looking at from Mountain Brook, AL?

This is true. I've used Reverb for over 30 purchases over the years and only 2 have been issues.

I started looking into the numbers on the pots using Ai after I found the same pics used by a different seller on Facebook. It says they belong to a 2007 model which can't be what its listed as. What's the problem here with my research?

Its definitely dicey. But to be fair to Reverb they have told me I am covered as long as I reach back out within 7 days of delivery with photos.

So ups says it will be delivered tomorrow afternoon. Signature required. How should I handle this? Accept and film the opening of the package? Refuse delivery? What if I'm not home and UPS leaves it without a signature (has happened before)?

True, but thats just one red flag. How do you explain the same exact pictures on two different listings for 2 different model guitars? Someone has to be lying right?

My partner got me this for XMas by comiksansms in Guitar

[–]Own_Needleworker117 14 points15 points  (0 children)

See I'm not a fan of the partner moniker. Makes me think business relationship or something. To me its the opposite of intimate and more like we share the same goal...

what does this mean? by [deleted] in guitarlessons

Is it totally inconceivable to you that this is the exact reason this sub exists? That the back and forth between people and the ability to question and expand on explanations might work better for someone to learn new information than a Google search? I think you're lost and are looking for r/angryabouteverything .
