There is a distinct possibility that the mods were already in place, and he offered to install the pickup as a way to try to foist them on you. Either way, if he is a reputable dealer he will offer a full refund. At least he appears to have been in business as a dealer for six years or more, so he is unlikely to disappear on you.

The L7 was all original and in excellent condition. Yes it was worth far more than even a new Eastman but don't dismiss these Eastman Guitars. The 810CE plays and sounds much better than the L7 ever did. It is a very nice guitar.
This is just a notice for people to always be on the lookout when transacting on the internet. The dealer is a well known internet dealer with a solid reputation from my research although now I am beginning to hear otherwise. I guess the poor economy makes people do things they would never have done in good times. I have had what I would consider 2 bad experiences dealing with people on the internet and both are fairly high profile individuals. Just remain cautious...

yeah...i'm betting the modifications were already done...or he's just a weird delusional mofo who thinks he knows what's best. i know other people like him. luckily the guitar plays well, but you might have gotten a slightly better deal by selling your guitar yourself and talking him down a little. i think he should cut you back a few bucks, but he won't!
