ShackMan addict Registered: 03/14/09 Posts: 561 Loc: Pittsburgh Area	Antoniotsai Inlay instruments. He's all over Ebay in the guitar and bass sections. And the string sections too. Anybody know about this guy? He seems to sell everything at really cheap prices. The inlays and the wood look spectacular. But I know looks can be deceiving and the price seems way too low for it to be quality. Then again, some things actually are good deals... Let me know if you guys know something! I may just buy one of these for the heck of it and see if it's any good. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=270393989702&Category=4713&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D2 _________________________ Music Gear Review - Keyboard/MIDI and Songwriting Editor/Mod "I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it." - Erwin Schrodinger, on Quantum Physics Keys: Nord Stage 88, Nord Lead 2, Yamaha W7 Upton Bass Custom Upright, BSX Allegro EUB, '80s Peavey T-40, MIM Active Jazz Bass, Godin BG-5, Fender Bassman 100, `68 Fender Bassman 50 head, Gallien-Krueger Fusion 550, SWR (pre-Fender) Goliath III 4x10, Markbass 2x10 Traveler

ShackMan addict Registered: 03/14/09 Posts: 561 Loc: Pittsburgh Area	Thanks a ton dude. I didn't have anything come up about him, but I'm glad I at least know now. I was very skeptical, especially at that price, of the quality. I remember being skeptical of Steve Wishnevsky down in California (of Wishbass), but I still got a pretty awesome product. It was just cheap because he sells his basses "in white." That is to say, you do the finish work (polish, tung oil, etc.). It was actually pretty fun to work on my own instrument. That's disappointing, but thanks again nonetheless. _________________________ Music Gear Review - Keyboard/MIDI and Songwriting Editor/Mod "I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it." - Erwin Schrodinger, on Quantum Physics Keys: Nord Stage 88, Nord Lead 2, Yamaha W7 Upton Bass Custom Upright, BSX Allegro EUB, '80s Peavey T-40, MIM Active Jazz Bass, Godin BG-5, Fender Bassman 100, `68 Fender Bassman 50 head, Gallien-Krueger Fusion 550, SWR (pre-Fender) Goliath III 4x10, Markbass 2x10 Traveler

Eddie newbie Registered: 05/23/09 Posts: 25 Loc: United States	You know if anything sounds to good to be true, it usually is. I'm always skeptical about deals like these and try my best to check everything out. Shackman-you did a great job checking this guy out!

Opti newbie Registered: 05/24/09 Posts: 25 Loc: California	Wow I was reading about that guy and all the complaints about the quality of the things he sells. Sounds like someone to saty away from. I am surprised Ebay has not banned him yet.

jillian newbie Registered: 05/14/09 Posts: 30	I know someone who ordered a guitar on Ebay and never even received it. I don't know if it was from this guy or not. I have never really bought a lot of used products from the internet because I - well, let's just say I have trust issues.

drumstick stranger Registered: 07/06/09 Posts: 20	I just Googled "Antoniotsai Guitars" and came up with a website warning gullible customers to stay away from him. He seems to have a good reputation on eBay though. Wonder how he earned it! His guitars are pieces of junk that crack in no time. No wonder he sells them so cheap. Possibly he uses low-quality wood.

Grenalda stranger Registered: 07/05/09 Posts: 20	I am leery about buying anything high end from eBay. Sure I may pay $20 for a dish or a comforter but something as personal as a musical instrument I would certainly not buy. I would want to see the instrument and actually handle it before I bought it. I've seen too many complaints about high end stuff to buy sight unseen.

drix2 stranger Registered: 08/04/09 Posts: 5	I agree you have to be careful but if you know what you are looking for and ask questions you can find deals. I bought a drum set (new) and a used King Sax both were great deals on Ebay. You do have to be careful and look for a guarantee.
