one in particular looks like a crack to me now: EDIT: Also, on a 3000 dollar guitar, I would expect the grain to be a bit tighter than that? But, eh, what can I say. The loriente clarita I played was great, didn't really care about how the grain looked because it sounded just fine. The ramirez 125 and 130 I played had alot tighter grain, but the clarita was a great guitar. Now that I think about it, although I favored the sound of the 130 anos at the time, the clarita was probably the better guitar. So anyway, that is a crack, right? Are my eyes betraying me?

The seller just told me that there are no cracks in the guitar, although he could see why I would think that. It sure does look like a crack to me.

Jesus, there is more:
I was actually thinking of buying this guitar, but man, it has really been worked over nicely, hasn't it, . Check out the scratches in the fret board even.

The top has "some scratches"...
While it certainly could be a crack, it might be just the finish, but that could be repaired if necessary, those ugly gouges made by a pick would be more difficult to hide.
As far as the grain, it does look strange, but it might be cedar, as the grain is a little wider. Hard to tell.

I don't know what to say regarding Zack Brown, except that he's pretty hot property right now, working with some of the biggest names, playing guitar for a pretty good living. So he must not be TOO big of a "moron". Regarding playing a nylon string with a pick, I've been doing so for many years. Even while I pursued my classical guitar degree, I would also take opportunities to play on classical with a pick. Perhaps you'd like to take-up your issue with people playing nylon strings with a pick with these well-known (and respected) "morons"...

Arg, the seller ended the auction 2 days before the end, I assume because be only got one bid. I didn't think he can do that if someone bids on it, unless the item is damaged or something. I was probably going to bid on this, but I guess not anymore. He messaged me that he would sell it to me for 800.

I doubt be cancelled the bid, the message said "This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available." And then he promptly messaged me seeing if I would take 800 for it, so obviously it is still available. I guess I can give him some slack, as he apparently never sold anything on ebay before, but it is still annoying when a seller does this. I hate when sellers do this, just set a reserve and be done with it, instead of dicking around honest bidders.

i thought the listing and pictures were too vague to take a chance on. i was burned once on a "it's scratched up but wait until you hear it" guitar with somewhat fuzzy pictures. took over $700 plus shipping to get it back into shape. sometimes i think the lack of description/disclosure and poor pictures are more intentional than neglectful.
