thief?

hi guys,
check this out... 7357300240
for me it is a bit strange.
brand new seller, 0 feedbacks, bidders ID kept private, seller location, jem with ebony fingerboard in 2004???? I think 2003 was the last release of ebony...hmmmm I would not bid......

[chopvai]

i just had to read the first line

...This is a beautiful 2004 (serial number F0220453) Steve Vai JEM that Steve signed at a press gathering prior to the concert here in Hong Kong in August 2004....

2004 with a serial number of F02?????

F02 = 2002

[Hartfolk]

Wow! I even did not notice the serial number problem....We should warn the bidders somehow they (or just the winner) will loose their money.....
Anybody?Any idea?

"...prior to the concert here in Hong Kong..."

Kind of strange when the guitar is in the UK.

That looks really dodgy - where are the pics he's talking about

If he knew about the change from ebony to rosewood surely he would know about Ibanez serial numbers

[HAMcrazy]

hmmm..looks dodgy to me too.. can it be those jems that are back-stock of 02' models that e guy bought in 04'? could it be the owner brought it over to the uk?? otherwise a tad bit tempting..
