📚Description: I've noticed a new variation on the Reverb Scam lately... Not only are they stealing old photos, but they are also stealing the shop's name. The end game here is to send you an empty box and hope Paypal sides with them. They are currently abusing a recent Reverb change that removed the (x) rating beside the seller's stars to make people think they are legit. Stay safe on reverb - look over your seller's profile and ONLY use Reverb Payments on domestic transactions as that will leave final say in Reverb's hands on disputes.

Fun fact, if at least two users report a Reverb listing, it gets instantly taken down. During COVID when I was out of a job and just job/Reverb surfing all day I would use two accounts and just spend hours refreshing the page and getting new scam listings taken down.
You’re a saint
now try to report it
wow what a way to spend ur life..

Why sh talk him for helping out others?
Good idea. I've been lucky (so far) on Reverb.
Bought an amp on Reverb last month. Came with one channel not working. Reverb gave me my money back and since the seller ghosted them, they let me keep it.
That’s actually remarkable.
Fifteen years ago, I bought an AC15 on eBay.
It came completely fucked and with holes in the speakers.
The seller claimed ignorance and I got nothing from eBay.
how does reverb know ur not lying
I had my listings photos & descriptions stolen on Reverb 3 times and reposted. I finally called the FBI and that’s when Reverb finally did something. I had to show them the FBI report. Thats when they finally decided to take action.
You called the FBI?? lol okay
@ seems extreme but they made a report and that’s when Reverb finally did something about it.
It's not just that scammers are waiting until the evening hours to avoid reverb staff... it's daytime in many of the countries they're located in.
If I had a dime for every time Trogs says “I thought about picking this one up” on something I’d like to see him document, I’d have enough to buy one myself…
I really appreciate the way you educate people because I was once a victim of a scam and I'm glad I got out of it but some people aren't so lucky so thank you for the education
Reverb doesn't care about you. Reverb is not your friend.
Reverb writes me love letters at night, does this mean they are not true to me alone?
I live buy hueber and Breese. They are a great store.been around since 1972. They list all there guitars on there site. That guitar is a scam.
I agree ! When I used to live in Michigan that was my Music store and they are the best!😊
I was going to write the same thing but you beat me to it.
Huber and Breese has been around and reputable for many decades. I have purchased many items directly in their store many times over the years... Amps, Drums, Pickups, etc. I purchased a certain item there a couple years back and they gave me a furher discount because I paid with actual cash in hand (this spares small businesses from credit card 3% service fees).
Anyway, hope that bogus listing had/has no negative affect on them.
Man, that silverburst LPC with the maple fretboard is awesome! Would have been even better if the block inlays were done in black pearl.
That ES-335 is SO CLOSE to the “Songs in the Key of Life” album cover
Reverb is dead to me. After years of no problems, I got a guitar with undisclosed damage and they conspired with the vendor and called it "shipping damage" Its insurance fraud. Reverb was better when CME was running it. Now it's just incompetent and morally bankrupt reps being thrashed by venture capitalists. And some very dishonest vendors,
Of all guitar shops to use as the example it had to be Huber and Breese. I live right down the street from that shop, lol! Small world.
That Albino silverburst is the first silverburst I've ever liked. It's AMAZING
I reported that LP junior three times.
I only use reverb for strings, tubes, pedals, etc. nothing i wont be broke from getting scammed.
I live near Huber Breese and they are actually pretty decent
I had been an avid reverb buyer for years until my last 2 interactions were awful. I usually buy new now.
I bought an R9 off ebay. They had pictures of a real R9 and they sent some empty box that never got to me, which was a good thing because it helped ebay get me my money back. It was complete BS. I should have known the story/pricing was bs. It was like 1k to 1.5k too cheap but they claimed to price it low so it would sell quickly and they could fix something. The whole don't want to sell it but have to shtick...
Thanks for the tips about Reverb. I’ve had good luck buying through the site, but it’s helpful to know what to watch out for.
Love Huber Breese. Great Store! Bought my Fender Tele Am Pro II there. It’s a real store. They are a Martian Custom Shop store. They have a Gibson Map Guitar for sale.
That 335 srsly gives me ' songs in the key of life ' vibes.
Hubert Breeze is legit
Someone should let Huber Breese know. They are a fantastic guitar shop, top notch guys and have an insane selection.
The app still lists the rating and review numbers. Even the zero members
That’s good! Need to fix desktop then
THANK YOU FOR THIS!
Good rant! That silver burst maple neck would look great with black block inlays 🥰
Thank goodness for internet police
In Australia 🇦🇺 there is the same scam with the sum guitar.the same add has been up and down several times with the same scamer scum.why wont the sites be more proactive iv reported this site,and guess what its up again.on Facebook market place.everyone except scammers have a great day🎉
Avoid ebay. The sellers dont have to mail you your item! They just complain about the US mail, which is ' Your problem...'
06:56 No Zakk Wylde bullseye on the back, but if you look closely, in the lower right corner of the back plate there is a portrait of Alfred E. Neuman, (or even King Arthur - wait,- this might be the Holy Grail of Guitars!!!)😁
Thx for the info Mr Trogly. Greatly appreciated.
Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘
Amen! Thanks.
My 2012 Classic Custom has a pearl logo on the headstock, but the diamond and block inlay are acrylic. What year is that "Zakk Wylde" custom?
Man I’ve bought 3 guitars over the last 5 years and thankfully haven’t been scammed. I triple check anything I buy from reverb anyway.
It is very similar in my experience.
I've seen a few guitars that look like the pictures of the second Studio I bought after watching this show.
One time in the mod collection. 😂😅
The real Huber & Breese is an awesome guitar store.

Buyer beware
Great PSA Trogly. 🎸💰✅
2:30 it still works like that on mobile. For me, at least
Why was the Explorer a scam🤔
The ' Albino ' LP is pretty cool , me likey , the ES-335 wood grain is unique , also love the wood grain on the Explorer ! Thanks Trogness !
Scam!
I had a buddy sell his 58 junior that looked just like that. His grandfather bought it for his mom in 59 and he found it in the attic. The cardboard case was rotting away,but the guitar was pretty much perfect. He kept it for 40/50 years. Sold it on the TV show Auction Kings. Think he got $ 4600. Always loved that guitar.
That silverburst's black border almost looks like they painted around pickups already installed in the body and taped off, and that's why it bumps out weirdly around that area on both sides
And the worst thing about the silverburst SG junior are those tuners that they should pay the buyer for instead of the other way around just because of the time and labor to take those pieces of garbage off
Great advice Trogly! Appreciate it.
Big thanks for the scam info! Big help!
If you get one of those new juniors csn you do a video on repairing the bridge I definitely wanan do that to mine I don’t know what to do once I get the replacements lol
What if you find the scammer first?
I've bought from reverb 3 times. I was pretty nervous because of all the issues I've heard about. 2 of them didn't send me any info on shipping after 3 days so i contacted them as per reverb suggestions. I think i even waited 5 days. I got the feeling they felt i was impatient. One was a made to order amp cover which took a bit longer but they put a rush on it. The second the guy said the 3 way switch was having issues so his tech was checking it out. My only issue was neither contacted me within the 3 days to let me know what was going on or why there was a delay. I just heard nothing until i reached out. In the end everything was legit but it didn't help my confidence in ordering off of reverb. I still browse but i probably won't buy much from there in the future.
That albino silverburst would look PERFECT without the silver (just ALL black, would've done the trick, imho)... and yeah, that fade job is SUPER sloppy looking!
I got rid of Reverb. The pricing on most stuff is just OK, but the freight costs are absurd. I needed some bridge inserts for the Nashville bridge in my Les Paul. The freight for 2 inserts was over $100. Put your crack pipe away, son.
6:41 A Mick Jagged ES 335🎸….you know…..if Mick played guitar.
I have no idea what your comment means, but Mick Jagger has been playing guitar for decades.
@ Really! I thought he only sang? Thanks.
So people just need to click one more thing before spending 5k.. right on
I actually just picked up a Reverend Sensei Jr in natural (yes, you finally can see the Korina!) from a few years ago, I think the tone + bass contour on the single P-90 will make this a little more versatile than most other juniors.
A classic custom is the perfect guitar for a gold top/zakk wylde mashup
Good players practice. Bedroom player's shop for gear.
That LPJ image was an AI image. You can just tell by the image style.
Howdy all!!
I like the silver SG junior
That 335 looks killer
That albino silver burst paint job is embarrassingly bad. I've seen chibsons that look better.
The real scam here is spending thousands of dollars on a guitar and if they send it to you damaged you can't return it
I had to send one back and buy it again. Mine wasn't thousands of dollars, either.
I like the sg jr
huber breese has been in business forever...i bet if you call terry and he may help you fix this
TROGG!!!!!
That 335 is sweet!
Trogly, your pricing and advertising partners are scammy.
Wait, why are you talking about legit listings in a video about scams? Or are the listings fake?? Most of the video is listings that you appear to be saying are cool but I can’t tell if you’re making a video about scams or is that just the first 1/4 of the video?
It's just the first quarter of the video. He usually titles his videos describing one instance of something he saw, not everythign at once. The whole video is not about bad listings.
❤
Z is for intentionally late.
Good, glad you’re living your life
✌️
✌️✌️
Omg. Had I seen that Dot for 2600...wow
Not butter 🧈
I can't believe it's not butter.
Algorithm boosting comment
35 you snuk up on me. Hey Trogly Scam What? They are always skeeming, size ing you up, looking what they can gain from you. I use an VPN it saves you alot of headaches.the black hardware on this guitar looks great. Gold would look classy but black is where it's at on this one.
Cool guitar. Thanx for sharing that one. That's a beautiful bulls eye with flar back.
VPN traffic still goes through somewhere. Often a data mining center
2 in one day! COOL!
Does the scam involve selling plots of Scottish lands for next to nothing?😆
the first listing's photo even looks AI generated
About time…
Neverb
First?
At what?
It’s 2025, grow up
