in my local craigslist is this ad for a $100 "old gibson guitar".
first off, really? $100?
second, norlin case, but did gibson ever offer a guitar with a maple headstock?
i know the pic isnt much to go off, but what do you guys think?
Old electric guitar

no comment on the guitar because of the pic being so small. could be anything.

the case is easily worth the $100 though if it's a legit norlin machinegun case.

Good deal anyway. The case is worth about 100$ and no matter what kinda cheapo Les Paul sits in that case, a free guitar is never a bad deal right?

A nice backup guitar perhaps? Or the perfect guitar for your cousin who always wanted to pick up playing guitar.

Id be driving there now.

but back to the original question, has anyone ever seen a real les paul with a maple headstock? even maple fretboards that ive seen have had a black headstock.
also, even though its a small pic, to me the headstock shape is closer to a hagstrom. if thats the case though, it still wouldnt be a bad deal.
im thinking that if he says its still available i might have to go check it out.

I have a 1982 Les Paul Deluxe and this is the exact case I have. Can't tell about the guitar. Still a deal either way.
