Thought I'd share this one with you for the humor factor. This clown wants "5 Brazilian headstocks and 5 herringbone purfling and rosette". No mention of whether he wants a guitar attached to those items. These guys are dumber than rocks!
And of course he wants to pay with a credit card!

I get them too. Why, just the other day I could have made 1.6 million dollars just by replying.

Do they think anyone actually believes this kind of junk?

Where's Bruce when you need him? He would be SERIOUSLY offended by that Ebola Monkey Man site.   

I am about the last person on earth that find things offensive and I think that dude has wandered into some VERY unstable places.

Oh boy...he wants five of my "latest" model...that would be the Tuolumne. So I quoted him approx $21K shipped to Nigeria. Waiting for the credit card number(s) now.
And Lance McCollum got the same bozo. We may both try to play him at the same time and use the old FedEx truck accident to destroy both of our shipments. That ought to tighten him up, say $40-50K "up in smoke". Then of course, we'll have to do the "insurance claim" play. Luckily I saved all the responses to the last scammer. We'll just change names, dates and a few words and see what happens.

I get them too. You think they could come up with another last name instead of "Johnson". Oh, how original.
