Who is this guy, anybody have any dealing with this place? The price is right.
Some of the horns on the superstrats are kinda ugly, but I could deal if they were set up right. Even has a Jem copy.

That woodgrain 7 looks like a Halo body.

Thats what I thought. And thats gotta be a Jem body on the one, with whatever neck he threw on it. I read through 3 pages of feedback to see if I could find any on a 7 string guitar. Apparently he hasnt sold any in the last few months. He's in Texas, so its possible theres a "knock off" shop right across the border.

If it were me, I would probably steer clear from one of those guitars. They look very cheaply made (possibly in china). If you are going to spend 250 on a guitar, you should either get a used ibanez or schecter or something.

I would never buy, but its always entertaining to see what you can pull up on the bay when your bored, lol. I do see a couple LTD 7s I'd like to grab up though.

I'm happy to hear you aren't planning on buying. I mean lets just be honest here, those guitars are just slightly...and I mean slightly, more expensive then an Original Floyd Rose tremolo by itself. Most replacement Ibanez bodies (at least ones with a finish on them) sell for more then those entire guitars. Same scenario with a nice set of pickups.

I'm not one to say there's no such thing as a good deal out there, but there is a certain point where it's simply impossible to make a quality product below a certain budget...the materials just can't be had for the price and that's without including labor charges.
