It's the capri orange competition and cost (I think) 899 bucks and another hundred for shipping. The guitar made it here in 6 or 7 days and there was a hole in the side of the box. I had a sinking feeling when I opened it, but was relieved that there was no damage. I must say the package made it here faster than some shit I've bought from within the states.

Good to know. Is it the same seller referenced above or someone else?

I will look through my feedback and see who it was.

Thanks, did the seller do any special packaging for the overseas journey or was it the usual double boxing?

It was inside a Fender gig bag that was inside a factory Fender guitar box with a few scraps of cardboard to keep it from shifting and nothing else.

Wow, I would have thought double boxed at the least.

Oh wow, I was way off. After looking at the feedback I left this is what I found

"No communication, but delivered within 2 weeks.....not bad."

Thats about as rough as I get when leaving positive feedback. He never left anything for me.
And now that I'm thinking about it, it was a stressful 2 weeks of not knowing if I got ripped off to the tune of a thousand bucks and having no way to track the package (or if it even existed) drove me nuts. I was relieved when it did show up.
His ebay I.D. is kyoko 16
Man, now I'm all riled up thinking about it, I forgot how pissed I was
..........ah well time to drink a few beers and watch the Blackhawks stomp the shit out of the Redwings.

I bought my Jag from "mijsixstringskatana" on ebay - he has some interesting stuff from time to time and the service was great, got to me in a week from Japan. Unfortunately, it's not going to get any cheaper

looks like black pups and black pickguard, and zero concept how to photo a guitar.

and for some reason a blue filter on the close up shot.
wtf?

Yeah I know, it's been ut up multiple times. But the only thing I can that happened to it is that he painted the gaurd black and switched the pick ups.
