Something STINKS on Ebay

SonicBoom · 02-22-2009, 12:14 PM

I was watching this guitar on Ebay. The listing says it's s/n 80, and the owner says that he bought it from a guitar shop (I won't mention their name) a few years ago.

Here is the Ebay link: Gibson Les Paul Goldtop - eBay (item 220364681979 end time Feb-21-09 18:46:45 PST)

Now the fishy part: Here is the SAME guitar up for sale on MLP last year by a member here. I've corresponded with both parties claiming to own this guitar. They are not the same person.

Nothing wrong here after all. It turns out this guitar has actually changed hands twice this year contrary to the owner's comment that he has had it for over a year. I confirmed this through a third party that knows both sellers. Truth is stranger than fiction.

All is good in Gibson Land once again.
