When is a £300 Cort Hiram Bullock not a £300 Cort Hiram Bullock?

When it's had its headstock decals removed and become a £959 Joe White Custom that was originally a little shy of 2 Gs new, that's when - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Joe-white-Custom-Made-Electric-Guitar/142516362537?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

Complete Bullocks!  

Vendor's brain has obviously been addled after "humping three guitars". Maybe, it was already addled before that?

Able to resist anything but temptation, I sent the vendor the following missive.

Concerning the electric guitar that you have listed. Please forgive my ignorance but who is Joe White? I have not heard that name before. He appears to have made an extremely accurate replica of the Cort Hiram Bullock signature model guitar - minus the decals and serial number, obviously. ;o)

The vendor's single sentence reply courtesy informed me that Joe White is a luthier based in Farnham, Surrey.

I wonder how Joe White would feel about these goods being passed off as his work?

Maybe email Mr White the link to that auction and see what he says?

Looks as if somebody beat me to it. ITEM WITHDRAWN. 

I did not report the vendor. Perhaps, somebody else from tFB dropped the vendor the same hint that I did? Hopefully, the vendor realised that the game was up. 

I would have been perfectly happy if the listing had stood EXCEPT with a correct/honest title and description and a realistic price.
