If you're going to fake an Axis...

The least you can do is spell San Luis Obispo correctly. This thing's awful. Reported to eBay.

Hey he made it clear:'I've described it best I can...Ask questions before bidding as sales are final and as is.'

 

[Jamie M]

I have reported as well, awful looking.

"I am guessing late 90's first generation Ernie Ball music man axis in purple quilt."

For the love of Gaaahd, it says OLP on the darn neck plate!

Thanks for reporting guys. The rest of you keep reporting!

Does it count as a "rare HSS" when the rarity is down to the limited number of people that would brazenly whack a single coil in humbucker cavity? bellend

Reported as well

Back in the 90s a colleague of mine had a son called "Bellend", though it was pronounced "beh'LEND". His family were Iraqi Kurds, I worked with his Dad. Lovely family, nice memories. I think of them every time someone types that.

LOL - well that's a new one for me Poor bloke, i hope he didn't get a load of stick if he came to the UK with how common 'bellend' is here as a derogatory term

 

[Jamie M]

He really would not cope with that name over here, as Trapper says it is a somewhat common term and not that polite!

 

[Razzle]

I gave him the benefit of the doubt, he may not know and just may be ignorant.

Sent him an email, told him he's got an OLP body with an Axis neck.

 

[TripHazard]

I think he’s got a re-decaled OLP neck with that spelling mistake on the back

It’s how we refer to the executive branch where I work (amongst other insults)

Yep. That's not an Axis neck. This guitar is a modified OLP with decals. I thought the guy might have gotten taken and didn't know as well, but anyone familiar with guitars should be able to see that neck cavity wasn't meant to hold a single coil and the neck plate says OLP.

 

[TripHazard]

that neck cavity wasn't meant to hold a single coil.

That's what makes it "rare"

 

[Big Poppa]

im sorry.... scumbag

 

[Magic Jason]

Reported! Sucker!

 

[tbonesullivan]

Reported and messaged the seller. I would think with that much feedback they would know better.

 

[bhull]

Really odd listing for a couple of reasons.

Not a EBMM due to the issues already pointed out.

Seller has been a member since '99. Only 50 ratings but they are 5/5.

List price is too high for OLP, too low for a used Axis.

 

[Jamie M]

I have messaged the seller and informed him this is a fake, I have done it politely as he may not know much about this subject. Hopefully he will remove it as eBay don't seem to be interested.

 

[spychocyco]

I saw it still up this morning and was wondering what exactly it takes to get eBay to pull a listing.
