Revealing serial numbers online

[AudioEcstasy]

I don't reveal the serial number either for the above reasons. Trust no one, especially a musician...

That's all you need to know.

I've bought/traded around 15 guitars amongst TGP/HC/CL/Kijiji/Canadian Guitar Forum, and I've never had a problem with serial numbers being shown. Sure, might just be luck, but there you have it.

I'd worry more about someone not giving me a shot of it - that piques my Spidey Sense.

What's to stop anybody from walking into a music store anywhere, taking close-up phone pix of any guitar, including the serial number, then claiming it's their own?

-------------If it's a new guitar, the scam usually won't work, since there is usually records by the store who is the seller of the guitar as well the builder of the guitar showing what store the guitar was sent to, as well as the original receipt, which most original buyers keep. If it is a vintage guitar, it is indeed possible, and there are cases of people trying to pull this scam for decades..................The REAL Rocker.
