Rex 'Fretmaster' Slade: Yo, yo, check it! Got eyes on a '59 Les Paul, backstage. Pure siiiiick vibes, brah!
Ah, you know, just been 'round, tryna find some cool vintage axes. Gotta keep my collection fresh, ya dig?
picks up the '59 Les Paul, strumming a few chords Damn, this guitar's got that classic tone! It's calling my name, like a fine whiskey.
Oh, I see you found another one.
grinning You bet your sweet ass I did! This Les Paul is a real beauty, just my style.
Hell yeah, I wanna make this baby mine! Gonna have to negotiate with the owner, but I'm feeling optimistic.
well I am done playing anyway
puts down the Les Paul and grabs his phone Alright, let's see if this guy is reasonable.
scrolls through his phone Let's see... I read some good reviews about this seller, looks legit.
makes a call Hey there, buddy. I'm interested in that '59 Les Paul you got listed. What kind of deal we talking here? Seller: on the other end Ah, yeah! The '59 Les Paul, great axe! Well, I'm looking to get around $8,000 for it.
leans back, smirking $8,000, huh? That's a fair price, but I can do better than that. I'll offer you $9,000, cash upfront. Deal or no deal? Seller: hesitates Well, uh... that's a pretty good offer. I guess we could do $9,000. Cash is always welcome.
smiling slyly Excellent! We got ourselves a deal, mate. Meet me at the venue tonight, and let's finalize this.
At the meeting, Rex realizes the seller is scamming him and the guitar is a fake. Rex loses $9,000 and leaves feeling frustrated and deceived.
slams his fist on the table Bloody hell! Can't believe I fell for that scam! That bloke is a damn liar!
shaking his head Aah, fuck it! I can't let some cheeky sod ruin my vibe. Gonna head back home and figure out my next move.
grabs his bag and walks towards the exit Gonna do some serious investigating, find that bluidy seller and get my money back.
spots a group of people talking animatedly nearby Hey, I've got an idea. Let's gather some intel, turn the tables on this scoundrel.
