Brazilian Cloud 9 on the Bay... real or fake?
Anybody see this eBay auction? So far the bid price looks kinda low for these specs:
Tom Murphy Aged Cloud 9 Chambered Les Paul Reissue Largish round '58 to '59 One Piece Mahogany neck with Long Neck Tenon Figured Brazilian Rosewood fretboard Thin original-style toggleswitch and washer and jackplate AAAA flame top Honeyburst finish Burst-bucker pickups CTS Pots & Bumblebee Caps Gibson Les Paul Cloud 9 Series-Custom Made - (eBay item 120172529607 end time Oct-20-07 13:15:07 PDT) Is this the real deal or a scam? Anybody familiar with this one?

I called Gibson Customer Service and it seems to check just as described in the eBay listing. Of course (as the seller already said) Gibson won't confirm the rosewood as being Brazilian or not. I beat you're right about the final bids.

Looks plenty real to me. Will prolly go for between 5200- 5800 my guess unless at the last min his sleeper bids what he actually wants for it
