Be wary of this auction.

The photo is from Gibson's blog announcement, posted weeks ago. It shows a color sample body on the left and the real Pearly on the right. Color sample bodies do not go into production. Who in their fricking right mind would route humbucker holes and other hardware holes AFTER a finish has been sprayed?

If he can't produce pics of the guitar he's selling, then you'd better be damn careful if you're looking to buy from this guy. There's other more reputable dealers out there.
