Oh jeez, you'd think those chinese scammers could at least count how many strings the picture had lol.

BUY WITH CONFIDENCE - THIS IS BRAND NEW, FULLY GUARANTEED STOCK - WE ARE AN OFFICIAL TANGLEWOOD DEALER AND ONE OF THE NORTH'S LEADING MUSIC SHOPS

Everyone knows that Tanglewood make some of the finest guitars in the world in their price category, particularly acoustics. In essence the purpose of Tanglewood is to provide a great guitar with a beautiful tone and smooth looks whilst leaving out a rather large price tag!

The award-winning TW15NS was the first all-solid wood acoustic guitar at a competitive price point available in the UK when launched in late 2001 and since then has won critical acclaim worldwide. A proven, resonant guitar, ideal for recording or live work alike, thoroughly recommended.

* Solid American spruce top
* Solid African mahogany back and sides
* Rosewood Bridge
* Rosewood fingerboard
* Mother of pearl and green abalone inlays
* Bone top nut
* Bone compensating saddle
* Grover machine heads
* Elixir strings
* Satin finish

We could waffle on for ages about how good Tanglewood are - but we don't think we need to - the name speaks for itself, and you're bound to have heard how good they are anyway! Due to the volume of Tanglewood guitars we sell, we can offer you some of the most desirable guitars on the market at an astonishingly low price - so don't miss your chance to invest in this stunner!

The guitar comes fully and safely packaged and will be sent via UPS next day delivery after payment is confirmed - please read our terms and conditions below for assurance and information on our company, payment and delivery details.

Considering that's an Ibanez solidbody, and definitely NOT an acoustic...

That is probably the worst piece of rosewood I have ever seen on a JP7.

It definitely needs some oil lovin'

I never buy anything on Ebay from China. Exactly what will be your recourse WHEN you are ripped off. I guarantee it isn't even real. China routinely breaks international pattent rules and manufactures things there that are bootlegs and sells them as the real thing. They don't even try to stop it.

I have a bad habit of not reading the whole auction since I lost my ebay account. Not like I need to know a whole lot about stuff I can't buy. I guess I should have, that would have answered my question.

Does anyone one else think Ibanez should put out a video much like they did for the Mini Coopers?

Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free-wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself.
