I Tried To Tell This Seller ..

[tnez13]

Well, now the guitar has a "glorious" natural finish.

I wonder, what exactly is the rating categories for finish? Is "breathtaking" better or worse than "glorious"? What about "eye-popping"? If the guitar were for sale near me in the southern US, would it be a "slap your momma" natural finish? What other adjectives should be used for this obviously far better than average natural finish?

[rokdog49]

Yeah, "glorious" that's it, that's the ticket."

[TBman]

Well, the seller corrected his advertisement.

That's what happens when you wear your sunglasses inside.

Now it's been downgraded to just "natural finish." Where did all the glory go haha?

Does the glory fade if left in the sun too long?

Hope the seller did the decent thing and apologised to Bruce.

I just asked the seller if he cleaned his glasses?

This is his reply, 'It’s sunburst. Get a grip man.'

[Krash58]

He also has it listed as having an E-sonic 2 pickup system, which it doesnt ! He pulled the description from a new model on the Epiphone website.

... and it comes with "deluxe Epiphone hard case pictured, again in excellent condition".
Apparently, it must be in a picture in a 'glorious ghost pose', as I didn't see any case.

Sounds like the seller is a serious waste of time.

You will be a very busy person if you try to correct the internet.

Most likely, the seller is a junkie. Why else would anyone wear sunglasses inside? And yeah he must be wasted, too.

LOL!! AGREED 100%. I get a kick out of internet police and grammar cops. You’d think there would more important things to focus on. Of course, that’s just my opinion.

I DON’T feel as if trying to help a seller list something correctly is wrong or unnecessary. I’m sure many (as stated) have been grateful for the assistance. In this particular case one would think the seller would be thankful. Even though it’s completely obvious that it’s far from sunburst, he still could’ve said, “thank you. I’ll correct my listing”.

Heck, even a “Thanks for the correction. It was a test and... you passed!” would’ve been a light hearted response from the seller.

Not sure why he would respond so snarky. Maybe his pride was stung a bit.

The google reviews for the business in question have a number of folks saying they've been ripped off. Caveat emptor.
