Default This is the biggest "stretch" I've ever seen when describing a guitar as "great."

I'm not saying its unsalvageable, but it literally doesn't have a bridge. At least the painters tape provides notice of that fact? Still, "great" seems like a stretch.

There’s a fine print behind the tape saying the condition is “great” after a new bridge is attached and full setup is done

$440 for a broken guitar that retails new for $550?

That’s a pass from me.

It's a scam! The blue tape doesn't tell you it needs a nut, too. You can't be too careful with "deals" like this.

So bad! I called about one they had yesterday listed as excellent than the sales person told me it had a crack on the back.
