I hate to give these guys the attention, but... (Craigslist)

Headline of a New York Craigslist post:

BUILD YOUR OWN 65 or 66 FENDER MUSTANG ELECTRIC GUITAR - $1000 (SoHo)

full post

This, to me, is shady on so many levels. Again, I feel bad even posting it because I don't want to endorse the shady, but I'm wondering if it gives everyone else the creeps as much as it does me.

noho???
no one has all kinds of 66 stuff and if he has it why not put it together and eBay it???

I don't know who it is, but I haven't seen it posted before. I assumed from the location that they were based in the city, but maybe not? Noho is based in California, correct?

If this post is from anyone on the board, I apologize, I really don't mean to offend anybody. It just seems like they are selling parts that are difficult or impossible to authenticate and charging more money than I would expect.

whos noho though? Scammer?

I'd imagine Noho is on the other side of Hollywood from Soho? Unless it's somewhere named after the place in London.

Noho was name that two ex-members made guitars under. I wouldn't worry about offending them, they don't post here anymore and there's not likely to be many people on here that'll defend them or jump on you.

I doubt it's them anyway.

Well, this is Soho as in South of Houston in NYC, on the other side of the country. So I don't think it's them.

hmmm, that'd be quite a stretch, the devious bastards.

Who'd have thought it, eh?

When I was reading this I just imagined Williams (I think) avatar.
I read the listing and it has SCAM written all over it.

I wonder if it's a regular RR person. If they were serious, they might try posting pics of their work. Didn't Guitarfather live in Staten Island?

I saw that and thought it was shady as well. But there are so many shady people on NY craigslist.
