(Did I do the conversion correctly?) I really enjoy my Tribute. Even acoustically it has a great and distinctive tone.

I don't smell a fishy auction here, just... you know, be careful. all the best, Christian mc500 Junior Username: mc500 Post Number: 25 Registered: 11-2009 Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - 2:50 pm:    Zero feedback and payment by bank transfer only. I'd be careful guys. sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 2066 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - 3:13 pm:    This might be one to check out for a local buyer. I do not like the " bank transfer " stipulation. One of you local folks could inquire with this seller to see if they are receptive to local pickup and payment. Better yet go check it out in person before making a commitment to purchase. Just a few thoughts . mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7479 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - 5:28 pm:    Comparing the pictures of these two very dark Tributes: They are not the same guitar. Still, caution should be observed as has already been suggested. jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 2591 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 - 11:19 pm:    I'm pretty confident that if one of the overseas members was interested in it, one our North Western UK, ABI Agents ( Alembic Bureau of Investigation) could check it out and report some findings to assist you. That said, i'll be in Manchester for a few days in late October and Blackpool is just over an hour further North and towards the coast from there so if i'm staying there instead of commuting and anyone really is interested let me know.

The seller insists on a bank transfer first and only then will he meet to hand over the guitar. SCAM!
