I don't visit 'vintage' much so I don't know whether this has been posted yet, but what do you think about this...

OLD REALY NICE GIBSON LES PAUL FLAME TOP POSSIBLY A 59 / 60 0R 50'S CONVERSION, | eBay

 

[LesPaula]

Absolutely everything about that ad scares the hell outta me.
People legitimately selling a guitar like this know EVERYTHING about it.

This makes at least the 5th time this guitar/listing has been posted about here.

IMO that is a gross understatement - it has been on ebay and the forum dozens of times!

A total trainwreck - RUN FORREST, RUN!

Ok..ok..

So i was off by a few...

I DO NOT THINK IT IS A GENUINE 50's 60's GIBSON LES PAUL, ( but it could be).

Sellers words, not mine...

 

[questionman]

That fretboard appears to be glossed?

Or wildly over-oiled...

"HOWEVER IT IS PROBABLY THE BEST ONE AVAILABLE FOR THIS MONEY AND COULD BE MADE EVEN MORE VALUABLE IN THE RIGHT HANDS."

Scary shit!

 

[Meddled]

A dodgy Les Paul in English hands? How interesting!

 

[Paul46]

For the amount of money that guy must have spent on ebay ads he could have bought a real one!

That guitar is legendary around here, he's been trying to pass it off for at least a decade that I know of


ps, by "around here" I mean the north east of England not the Vintage section....

Red flag #1 perhaps?!?!
That would have told me something about my guitar right there.

$10 says mine is better!

" I ONLY WANT MY MONEY BACK"

that's my favorite line in the ad & I'm sure any buyer could relate at 15,000 quid

This is a master of salesmanship at work here
I needed a good laugh.

He should take advice from the master:

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.

He'd be better off putting on Ebay with no reserve, getting something for it, and then moving on with his life, rather than waiting for some ignorant person to pay him what he paid.

I offered him 650, but he hasn't responded, yet I mean the bigsby could be real
