BUYERS BEWARE! **** vendors imitating FENDER USA Brand

BUYERS BEWARE! We purchased a Fender (well known and legitimate electric guitar brand) from Takealot. It was intended as a present for my wife (she was ecstatic and couldn't wait for delivery).

Delivery day arrived (today).

To our dismay, we bought from a **** vendor (even though Takealot made it appear as if the seller was Fender themselves). Blue hyperlinked vendor name and all.

Takealot are not delivering real Fenders but rather "Paisen" knock offs, yet charging you Fender prices. The quality of what they are delivering is comparable to a China mall ripoff.

Takealot are also not willing to divulge the seller's information - Again equating to protection of counterfeit ******** vendors using "POPIA" as a defense. That in itself is disgusting.

If you want to purchase musical instruments -> Take your money, visit your local music store and support hard working passionate musicians and their companies - not these ********s. Refunded and will be doing the same - they think us fools. don't support this type of behavior.

PS. Gave it one star only because zero stars isn't an option.
