Default 'Cosmetically refinished'

Found this on ebay.
The description caught my eye too.( including the misspelled 'presence')

“Great player. Cosmetically refinished for a dramatic, theatrical look and stage prescience."

I didn't think it was possible to do worse than Yamaha did with the cheesy decal rosette and binding. I was wrong.

I've been searching tirelessly for a recaster red label.

Close.

Looks like they used one of those tools to perforate wall paper to help in removal to achieve their finish goal.

Looks like it was attacked by a swarm of locusts.

Default valuable

That is a very valuable guitar, not because it is so good, but because it obviously must have belonged to Jackson Pollack at one point. A real collector's item, it has been collecting spatters for a long while now.

Doesn't seem like a bad price for a guitar that'll give you prescience. (Shipping's high, though.)

This shipping clause is interesting too,

"DAMAGED GOODS

What if there is a problem when I receive the item?

If the item has been damaged in the post and the package is clearly damaged please point this out to the courier and inform us straight away. Only the sender can claim for compensation.

If the item is otherwise damaged, or you consider it not as described, please inform me straight away."

HOW CAN YOU TELL?
