Re: The BEST of Craig's List - Rosewood Top!

I'm unfamiliar with this line of guitars. I'll investigate. Is that a solid rosewood top or fingerboard or both?

I already have a no cut away flat-top. M/F lists a 310 for$500 new. Dread model.

Our intuitions serve us well

I think Parkwood is a Guitar Center "store" brand. Not bad, and in this case, all-solid, but there are probably better choices. I shared the ad here as I found the "rosewood top" funny.

I get a kick out of looking thru the Craigslist ads. I find lots of Acustic guitars!!! The ones that chap my hide are the ones that don't say what brand and model they are. People, describe what you're selling!!!!!!!!

zguitar,
Me too. CL ads can be quite funny. I concur with your thoughts of lack of description, etc. On a few occasions I re-wrote the ad and sent it too them as as suggestion on how to actually the sell the guitar. No one has ever taken my advice as far as I know.

Re: The BEST of Craig's List - Rosewood Top!

How many times have you seen an ad claiming a fender or gibson for a cheap price only to have it be an  epiphone or a squier.Or a yamaha 335 for 200.00.I feel bad for any inexperienced parents looking to get their kids their first instrument and getting taken by these people.I have even posted in craigslist for people to do their research before buying overpriced guitars.They have always been flagged.I wonder why.

Absurd Ebay Auctions are amusing. Craigslist, too.

Jerome,if you look close that is canadian money.With the exchange rate it probably comes out to 25.00 in american money.So the price is right in line.
