Gibson Artist Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Is it jus me or is this guitar fake as heck? http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-GIBSON-ACOUSTIC-GUITAR-SUNBURST-HUMMINGBIRD-DOVE-/321496787873?pt=Guitar&hash=item4adab3aba1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Brutal. It would hardly be possible to pull this one off in the days of the Internet. The company producing these even went through the trouble of stamping the metal tailpiece with the Gibson logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin 1940D28 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I believe James Best was a decent guitar player a while back. Seems I recall he was "Sheriff Roscoe" in a TV series, and was in a few "Andy Griffith" shows a few decades ago.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I guess the seller knows well why he wrote three question marks after the denomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense, make a worthless guitar worth something....that is unless the signature is fake as well lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 . This seller is a real word wizard. Vintage?!? Gibson?!? And calling it a Hummingbird Dove ?!?!?! Come on! . It's a slope! And one of the most cockeyed fakes I've ever seen. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one of the most cockeyed fakes I've ever seen. . From what i can gather even the signature is only worth 39 bucks tops so at least that part is probably real, Afterall who would fake a 30 dollar sig? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
