no, i don't think the instrument is fake. I'm well aware of the model and actively looking for one.No. But there is nothing that sets off alarm bells in that one picture for me. We know there were instruments made at the Guild Custom Shop and we have seen that label before. The case and lining are typical of the higher end cases Guild has used for a while. The snakehead probably dates it to the 80's.
The more you share the more details we can question or confirm but this is not enough to get me to run away.
Too bad the pics are gone from https://letstalkguild.com/ltg/index.php?threads/guild-m90-custom-shop.178074/ but it support a claim of legitimacy based on what has been posted up to now.
Hello Toby,
OK. The ambiguity of "fraud" in this context.no, i don't think the instrument is fake. I'm well aware of the model and actively looking for one.
Sorry, to clarify I think the seller may not actually have it and have just trawled the images off the web somewhere. I wanted to see if anyone else recognised it.
The user in question who offered this guitar has been banned for very scammy behavior.
