I always leave a little bit of glue squeeze out in a few places inside of the guitars I build. If someone questions it [and so far no one has] I'll tell them that, it shows that I used enough glue in that particular area !
If it's a Gibson and you can't see a little bit of glue, I'd be concerned !

Excellent !

Seller says he hopes it doesn't sell. Well at that asking price I doubt it will !

Documented where? What is the source? For a forum to be useful to people it makes sense for you to back up any opinion with the research rather than pontificating. I have handled no less than four original AJs and unless IR once came in orange, they were all Brazilian.
Ballcorner no need for the rude reply jerk !
I was just repeating what I've read many times on other forums. George Gruhn for one has mentioned this.
Now for an example. Go to the UMGF and use the advanced search function. In the search bar type in, rosewood banner SJ.
Make sure you put a check next to the vintage section. On the second page of that thread Willi Henkes of BH guitars talks about AJ's and the use of Brazilian and Indian rosewood. Ren Ferguson has a quote in there as well.
Apparently Gibson didn't use Brazilian after 1936.

No sir the originals were Brazilian rosewood, just like the D28. Gibson only made roughly 300 AJ then and was the first rosewood dread for them. The OJ ( original jumbo) was mahogony
Though some of the originals from the 1930's were Brazilian, it has been documented that the majority of them were indeed Indian rosewood.
