NGD..wtf....was supposed to be a blacktop modded

Good God.

Here's a picture of the Squier CV Thinline. Way too much poorly educated guesses here.







Here's the Fender reissue.

 

Also, looking at the grain in your photos...based on the quality of those photos...

It doesn't seem to rise to Fender OR Squier standards. Just doesn't look right, unless the photos really messed up the reality, which is of course possible.

All Fenders would have better finish than that.

 

So what is your not poorly educated guess?

Just trying to understand what you're saying, because all you did was post two photos.

 

That story still doesn't make sense to me. If he's sending you the blacktop, when you get it and all looks good, send the other guitar back. That's called doing the right thing, and being "100%" like you said yourself. Just calling it like I see it based off your posts.

 

IMO you got a partscaster, simply.
If you like how it plays just ask to be partially refund.
If I was you I would ask for the blacktop because this is what you wanted. But this is just me.
Good luck.

 

Could it be the guitar you received was bought by someone else, and the seller got the addresses mixed up? You could check their completed listings to see if that might be the case.

 

If you like the guitar enough and feel you would have paid that amount for it anyway, then if were me, I'd keep it.

 

Don't understand how there is even a conversation about "what to do". Is it not obvious that you contact the seller and let him know that he made a mistake?

How does one even consider keeping something that they were not supposed to receive without talking to the seller first?

 

how much did you pay for it...if you think it was a deal keep it

 

People, please read the thread. The OP has already stated that he contacted the seller, who is sending him his Blacktop and letting him keep the Thinline.

~fin~

 

Apologies, I missed btfender's reply about hearing from the seller, where it was added to the quote and consequently appeared below the visible snippet.

If the seller says 'keep the Squier' because they don't want to pay return shipping to correct their own mistake, then it seems okay to keep it. That is, the buyer isn't under a moral obligation to pay return shipping.

(I once mixed up two eBay items, sent them to the wrong buyers. Fortunately I caught my mistake and got it sorted out before the items arrived. Buyers were understanding and sent each other the right item. Also fortunate the items cost little and fit into a standard letter envelope. But that was the first & last time I let myself make that embarassing mistake!)


Also—btfender, I hope you'll stick around.


Edit — I see the seller changed their mind...keep us posted!

 

I was just saying that I 'called it' in post #4, but was largely ignored. People even said neither Fender nor Squier ever produced a dark color natural stain thinline, so I posted pics to show that they did. Never sure why people post in guitar ID threads with 'info' if they have no idea what they are talking about.

 

lol

 

unreal how is all turned out...so whats happening? are you getting the blacktop? or has things deteriorated to the point he's gotten pissy with you and isn't doing anything to resolve his mistake?

They need to boot that seller from eBay. After he sends you your Blacktop.
