Care to humor me? You're making an inference....you should explain yourself.
My opinion (!) is that there is too much of a "could be" vibe.
We are to believe this was all done in 1959-1960, by Gibson, because a guy says "the lacquer looks right" as ultimate evidence?
I mean, that really is the only thing right? The neck, the body, the parts might all be legit, might all be period correct, but how do we know they werent put together 5 years ago? Because you, the guy that also happens to be the seller(!), says the lacquer looks correct?
If the seller was some unknown, small timer, dealer, wouldn't you also say "yeah right, keep on dreaming"?
You are obviously not just "some guy", I have great respect for your knowledge and contributions,and if you say you think it's all legit, I 100% believe you.
I'm not saying there is any malicious intent, so please don't read this as a personal attack, or as an accusation of anything, and therefor please don't feel the need to defend yourself.
But unless you have additional information you are not sharing, for me this might just aswell be a recently put together parts guitar. And how much would that sell for? (Just wondering, I don't even know)
