There are a few concerns for me here.

Only 6 references. None can be confirmed as "seller," appears that he's largely been a buyer.

In that he's so new to the game, I personally wouldn't buy from him even if everything about the auction was great: ie, excellent description, lots of pictures, etc.

In that the pic is not of the actual guitar, and he doesn't have much of a history, I'd walk away (personally). No slam against the seller, I just won't do business with people on eBay unless they have LOTS (maybe 25 or more?) of references, and preferably, a considerable amount of guitar transactions.

But maybe I'm a little paranoid. I'm sure I've missed some potential great deals this way, but I've also never been screwed (knock on wood).

Take care and good luck,
-Eric
