i doubt it-
a Madison WI craigslist search links out to show two postings for the same guitar- but two different locations and two different prices...

A way way underpriced guitar, free shipping, cryptocurrency. What could possibly go wrong.

Sounds like either a smokin' good deal.
OR...
Some scammer's really got his game on. Be real interesting for somebody local to ask for some hands-on.

Pictures are ripped off from this ebay sale https://www.ebay.com/itm/115831366267

Sale has it for $3,800

If you do a google image search on these ads, the real post usually pops up

That is a good tip, Bill. Thanks for that!

It is a great deal, But to good to be true. The post on E-Bay has a more realistic price on it.

That odd shaped do-bro bar is in all 4 sets of add pictures. In the 4 sets of photos the bar is in the exact same place on the neck. In the E-Bay pictures the bar in 1 picture same as other posts, And in 2 other pictures, Bar at different locations on the strings.

Yeah man, you have to be careful with deals like this. I recently had someone contact me on Reverb to ask if one of my listings was also on Craigslist. Turns out someone just took the photos of something I had on Reverb and was using them to try and scam people.

Never ever buy something to be shipped over CL. Its fine for face to face transactions, but Craigslist has nothing in place to protect buyers from scams like this. There's no vetting process or anything. I know Reverb and eBay aren't perfect but they do have protections in place to try and weed out scammers.

My browser crashed when I clicked on the CL link. I couldn't even view it. Now that's sketchy.
