Their fault really for having a really badly created listing...<br><br>I've just gone with Wes's suggestion...Not expecting to hear anything tho.  :roll:]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[It was strange how they were encouraging you to contact them rather than the actual Ibanez company because it's just as easy to phone Ibanez. It sounds like it was a forgery and they were trying to make it seem as if the guitar was broken so you couldn't find out it was a fake. It's suspicious that a genuine rare custom guitar would go for such a small amount.<br><br>best of luck with the refund]]></content:encoded>

But keep in mind...if you make an agreement OUTSIDE of eBay you will NOT be covered for a refund. I'd find a way to drive the 2 hours to get there and look at it first...even ask if you can take it to your own luthier to check it out (leave callateral with them while you have the guitar)...]]></content:encoded>

If theyr really that devious I'd rather just keep my refund n not bother em anymore  :?  I'm sure the high end Prestige models i was looking at b4 models r actually better. It just the uniqueness of this one gave it an added value of its own...Oh well...Woulda been nice  :( haha, not to mention the Â£400 or so price difference  :roll:]]></content:encoded>
