'Law Guitars' seem to be hiding some important details.

Here is a custom shop telecaster for £3000. There is no mention of a P90 route or a post factory sanded neck.

These issues WERE mentioned when it went up for sale on facebook by a guy called Dan a few weeks back. 

I'm not impressed.

Here is the ebay link...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265125925916

Here is the facebook ad that i presume he bought it from, clearly stating it had been routed and sanded. I remember it being listed at around 2k ...

    Another one pops up, the seller in question lowballed something I had for sale ages ago and was ignored...he's been posting stuff on FB for a while now too, quite easy to find.

    Is this a new thing, where ebay now grey out the letters of previous user names. Don't think they used to. He's changed it this month after being on ebay 8 years. I'm guessing it was something like Zack Law?, and maybe too identifiable for his new bedroom dealer plans?.

    Surely 'Above the Law Guitars' would be a better name

    That Tele - and a lot of other guitars - are for sale by the same guy on various FB groups.

    Who facilitates these pricks? Why would you want to pay over inflated prices for something with a bit of research and patience you can get yourself from a genuine player/seller or even new? I just don’t get this whole bedroom seller thing.

    From the thread title I thought you were talking about SVL guitars and the fact there’s no mention on his website or elsewhere that he buys in the bodies and necks for his builds.

    As you were.

    Yet another suspect private seller masquerading as a dealer but offering no such cover or guarantees. Reverb and Ebay are pretty much a no go area now. Facebook marketplace and sellers groups there are the same too, just full of guys pretending to be privates when they have 20 guitars for sale across the many specific groups. All I can say is from my friends at HMRC is that their movements and activities are being scrutinised.

    @Strat54 ; How do you know that some of them don't own registered buisness or are sole traders that adher to consumer law but merely use Facebook as a way of reaching a wider customer basis? 

    There are a lot of shady, shit show del-boy traders on there for sure, but is it fair to assume every single one isn't above board?

    One home-based dealer near me consistently states he is vat registered, which just makes me think what a shitload of guitars he must be turning over!

    @horse It doesn't take as much as you'd think. One custom shop going out the door a week will put you close to or above the 85k mark :)
