2006 possible r9 purchase

[Ross3700]

Hello,

I'm not extremely knowledgeable about Gibson CS guitars. Does this look legit? What's a reasonable price range for something like this?

Looks familiar.

Fancy inlays..

Fancy inlays..

Is that a pro or a con? I would imagine most people want them to be period correct.

This just got posted here recently in another thread. Has abalone inlays and a quilt top like an Elegant but a serial number like an R9. Curious.

Legitimate Gibson? Yes. Legitimate R9? Unknown. Pull the pickups and see what's in the cavity.

Don't ask me, obviously.

@Ross3700 did you buy it? I'd be really interested in seeing a pic of the control cavity.

No, it's local, just trying to get more info on it if possible. I asked for pics of the pickup cavity.

You probably know it was listed on Reverb for $10K within the last week, and sold very quickly.

Yeah I saw it, and was looking for it today on reverb. I'm assuming the reverb add was a scam. It happens quite a bit. Probably got taken down. Like I said, this guy is near me.

Do you know if that's the phone number of the guy you've been talking to?

I've only contacted him through messenger, but that is the town that is near me and he would have 352 area code. If he can't take out the pickups I probably will end our conversation.

Yep!
Any hesitation would confirm a scam.
Be careful.

open the control cavity, fairly easy. Should show an R9 stamp like this

Always amazed at the knowledge on this forum, very cool!

 

[Ross3700]

They have not replied since Wednesday regarding photos of the pickup and cobtrol cavities so I'm assuming it was a scam.
