Looks to be in decent shape, junk pics, tough to tell. They'd probably send better ones if prompted? Can't hardly beat the price. It is from Japan, have yet to deal with anyone from there so i don't know what kind of federal taxes may be involved...... still a good deal regardless i think.

Hmmmm..... something weird is going on here. Maybe best to avoid this? Don't know for sure but i'd guess you'd figure it out fairly quick.

I'd definitely be leery of this. It is obviously the same guitar but who is actually selling it? Two different "sellers" or the same person? Music shop with poor employee to employee communication (both unknowingly listed the same guitar)? One of them is using ripped off images to scam?

Currently if you reside in the US you are allowed up to $800 per person per month duty free. Bought a guitar from both Germany and Great Britain under this amount and no duties were levied.

I notice that kinda junk all the time. A few years back I questioned one of the sellers but got no answer.

Sent a message but no response, yet anyways. I concur, probably best to avoid.

.....and thanks for the info, crusty! It's good to know where the threshold is.
