Other than the very strange item description, I see nothing wrong with it. Just an old OLP model.

I can imagine the conversation that went on when that auction was being posted.

"How many colors should we use for our description text?"

"All of them!"

"But won't that be hard to read?"

"I said ALL OF THEM!!!"

To the op here's a recent article/pic that you may find interesting.
As mentioned EBMM used to have a business agreement with this company.

why is it called wolfgang?

lol. research.

Seller adds as many descriptions of the guitar as possible. When people do a search for a Wolfie, MM or EB... it shows up.

I got a good chuckle where the seller wrote “Quilted Wood-Top”. Dude, its made of the same stuff your kitchen counter top is made of.
