gotta love all caps descriptions that include gems like:

NEETLY DESIGNED NECK THAT DIDN'T FIT TIGHTLY, SO I FILLED THE SIDES WITH WOOD CHIPS AND SUPER GLUE.

Apparently at some point, the string threw the body....not sure where it landed, though.

I guess "INSTUM" is short for "instumint."

That is a great ad, at least the seller sounds relatively honest, even if he isn't a master luthier. A prospective buyer would have an idea what they were getting in to. I would be interested to play it and see if it wasn't total junk.

I don't doubt that he's honest & it may well be a bargain.
I just fell out when I read it. :)

For fractured English Craigslist is pretty good also. Last week someone advertised a "foke" guitar here in Rochester.
