Interesting, and not a bad price. Thoughts on who might have built this?

Here (http://orlando.en.craigslist.org/msg/577793212.html) is the ad.

Interesting, what I want to know is why there is so much weird, "hidden" text on there. I've seen it before on shady ads and websites, just not sure why it's included here.

Cliff Sargent?

I don't understand the reference to "Hidden" text, what do you mean Mandolusional?

Put you cursor and end of text. Left click and hold to hight all that text under the description. -Weird.

Thanks, I had not noticed that kind of thing before, I don't look that much. That is certainly unusual information. Why would anyone care about any of that?

That's just a gimmick to make the page show up in more (completely irrelevant) searches. Why anyone would use it in a CraigsList ad is beyond me.

This instrument does look very similar to a Sargent that was on eBay a while back. Did Randy Wood or John Monteleone put Virzis in their Gibson copies?
