warmoth calls that the vw and is no longer available do to ernie ball and copyright laws. it is not a copy of a wolfgang, it is a copy of the axis, the wolfgang is more twisted looking and the upper horn is less round. if he bought it from warmoth why not tell you it is a VW. the bottom line is no turtle, not a warmoth. it doesn't appear the the neck pocket or neck needed any modification in any way so the logo's should be there.
maybe he wants to pass it off as a warmoth because they stopped making them and thinks it will get him more money. so unless he can come up with a receipt or packing invoice i wouldn't believe it.
now on the other hand what are the pedals worth? is it a good guitar? have you played it? any buzzing?, dead frets?, does it hold tune?, noisy electronics?, how does it sound? if you want the guitar to play and it is a good guitar does it matter who made it?
if you want to get it and turn a profit there are suckers out there, obviously this guy hopes you're one of 'em. but it will be alot easier to sell as a warmoth if it has the proper logo's in the proper places.
