Check out this bargain

No one finds this ad funny. I almost want to go meet him and Play dumb. I would LOVE to hear his pitch as to how this is an American Epiphone.......

Not a funny ad, it's either dishonest or ignorant. I would love to see the look on his face when asked why the guitar says "made in Korea" or whatever country it was actually produced.

At least he has it listed at a fair price.

The salesman at the guitar store who sold it to him probably told him it was a USA model.

Urban legend has it that there was a town in Japan named Usa, and that after WW II it became a manufacturing hub because products from there could be labled:



MADE IN USA




japan


Edit
when it smells funny, check snopes

As long as they can give you a guitar guarantee, they can guarantee it is a guitar.

I suppose I am missing something. Nothing new... What is funny? I suppose you could ask if it is still available.

sonserve, I do believe the guy posting the ad has changed the post. I can only assume it used to say "Made in the USA" in the ad.
