Trade descriptions act??

Pedro

I was just browsing dolphin music uk and came across this: http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/10813

Now, is it just my imagination or are they describing a US Jazzmaster, with a picture of a US Jazzmaster, for sale at 499 pounds? Careless. I wonder if they're legally bound to sell the described item?

I was so tempted to buy one because of that, if you're looking to get one I say go for it, it's a decent price for the UK and you could end up with an AVRI.

If they refuse to give you an AVRI, take them to court with Trading Standards for

Yeah, you know they're just being lazy and using the same description for jap and US models though - the genuine American ones (with the thousand pound price tag) are called "Fender American Vintage" instead of just "Fender 62 Jazzmaster". That's bloody careless though - I might ring up and say I want the one for

I don't get paid til next week but maybe I'll give it a go then - as Bob says I could just demand a refund if it's not the "one on the website". Not that I'd mind having a CIJ jazzy anyway... 😛

absolutely no chance. you'd have to go to the trouble of taking them to a small claims court. and once there, they'd say "well, if he was so clued up on these guitars, then why didn't he know what the normal price of them was"? then the judge would probably tell you not to try it on like that in future, if you had claimed

I was just day-dreaming really, I don't believe for a minute they'd send a AV jag instead, and if I tried to argue they would just tell me to fukc off, and they'd be well within their rights 😉

The reason I was looking on dolphin was cos I saw this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FENDER-JAZZMASTER-1966-RE-ISSUE-Electric-Guitar_W0QQitemZ230095261004QQihZ013QQcategoryZ33039QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and thought it was a bit optimistic for the bloke to want over 500 quid for a 12 yr old MIJ jag, when you can get them brand new for less! Or are mid nineties MIJ meant to be better than the ones about now?
