Caution: I recognize the pictures. This was up before as a baritone and was listed twice by the same guy, and I think this is the same (third time) guy. Not positive of it though.

I bought this deal but when it came time to ship it it had vaporized. I didn't get ripped off and the guy was cool...but no guitar. I'm looking for one but my budget isn't great.

Hi, Barry. How, exactly, did it vaporize? Did the seller say it wasn't for sale all of a sudden, or what?
 
How did you not get ripped off? Charge back Paypal payment?
 
The thing is, he had the exact same one, same pictures, up multiple times before. I can't figure it out.

I sent the money thru paypal. When the owner responded said that he'd ship it out in the am. Then after checking, the guitar had been appropriated from his studio apparently while he waas out of town. He checked with a few friends and after 2 days sent the money back thru paypal.

Hmm, interesting - it'd be a shame if it really did get stolen.   But I do wonder why it was listed so many times in the first place.
 
Regardless, glad YOU were not ripped off!
