Report the advert.
At best, this person is planning to "sell" the guitar on Ebay when they don't actually own it - which is illegal - then try to buy it from you for the lower price, and pocket the difference.
At worst, it's an outright scam and they intend to defraud the buyer.

I have reported the seller to eBay and explained the situation fully, so I assume that at some point within the next few weeks the spurious advert will be taken down or, as @John_P suggests, reappear on eBay in a different town with a new vendor's account details ...
Thanks again for all your kindness.

It's now Sunday afternoon and the scammer's copy of my Pete Beer Concert Classical advert is still live on their site and has now acquired 7 watchers. My legitimate, genuine bargain advert at less than 80% of the scammer's asking price has attracted 130 views, but no firm interest. Is there no justice? Hey ho ...
From experience their reaction to reporting fraudulent listing practices is much slower, if they act at all, than reporting under contact information in description or photos.
Just a thought.

Bit of trading feedback here.
Absurdly, in the meantime, I might just have rediscovered my love for Pete Beer's craftsmanship after all. Mmmm ...
