it doesnt look that impressive does it? ive never seen a nylon strung guitar with a scratchplate!! that has to be a one off!
and ive never seen a nylon strung guitar in black or any solid colour, it looks like a very basic entry level instument, maybe you should change you user id name on ebay!!

That's Aus $, which works out under £40, if I have the exchange rate correct. With stand and strap, it seems like an OK starter acoustic for little money. It'll be a no-name made somewhere in SE Asia, probably China but there are other countries.

I absolutely love the seller's description. "Perfect for Green Day", a nylon-strung acoustic Shocked Confused Rolling Eyes

but dont forget, that $102 is a days pay in Australia, which is why there are so many Aussies working in the UK, an average days pay here is around £150 our pay is much higher , so to your average Aussie that guitar equals a days money which i think is a little overpriced.
i like that green day quote too, and they dared mention eric clapton , it just looks like one of those guitars thats worth £30 and £25 of that went on making it look good and the other £5 went on the scratchplate.
