I think it's vintage Bob, the board ,inlays, the knobs with the ''greeny ''edge,
the flatness of the top of the pickup covers look right .I must admit the pickguard bracket and screw look newish,but if your talkin' stock Historic or vintage then vintage it is.

...I take it you saw it in person and verified it before you bought it?...

Oh Oh...this doesn't look good for the buyer.

Mike60 · 07-28-2008, 07:03 AM

do a search on Ebayuk for completed auctions under 1958 Gibson...

weztallett · 07-28-2008, 08:42 PM

Hi all, i realise now ive been take for a ride on this one!
I thought it was far too good to be true.
Being new to EBAY didnt help much either.

I didnt realise how easy+offen people try these cons.
hope ive learnt my lesson and others will be wary.

Lucky for me i havent and wont be parting with any money!!
And hope the scammer will cut his losses.

Thanks to everyone who has given advice

BIG THANKS to mike who has gone out of his way to help.
