  1. In going through our store room we came across what appears to be a early 70s mahogany Flying V. Unfortunately, it appears to have been stripped and refinished (to the point that the serial number is illegible) with thick clear coat. Everything else about it appears correct and aside from the refinish the overall condition is very good. According to the Vintage Guitar Price Guide in original finish, at the low end of excellent, it would be worth $14,000. I'm just wondering how much a refinish devalues a guitar like this. Also, is it worth pulling the pickguard? Is there likely be anything in the cavity that might provide useful info? And, finally, are there any sites that provide comprehensive info on Flying Vs?
  2. Now I'm even more confused and wondering if mine are replacements...
  3. The bridge on mine. I'm also wondering about the tuners. It has Gibson Deluxe individual ones (as opposed to the six on a strip on my LG-12) and a couple of them look a little askew (high E and D)
  4. Very much the same as that Reverb listing (with the black teardrop pickguard) except the bridge is more like yours (without the two dot inlays). For what it's worth I always thought the D stood for Dreadnaught...
  5. No label at all and it didn't have one when I bought it 2nd hand...
  6. I've got a 1975 Gibson J-50D that I've had for 30 years. I recently came across a listing for one that said it had a spruce top and rosewood back/sides but I always thought the back and sides were mahogany. Does anybody know, for sure, what the standard body woods for this year/model were? Looks like mahogany to me...

  8. A few days ago the shop I work at bought what appeared to be a Gibson Les Paul Supreme. This morning one of our customers informed us that it was a fake, made in China. We contacted Gibson, attached photos, and they replied, rather instantly, that it was counterfeit and explained how it was so. The question now is, what do we do with it? We can't sell it. Apparently, it's illegal to do so. We do have the name and address of the person who sold it to us. Can we report them to the police, the FBI???
  9. Hi, I joined up yesterday, validated my email and registration. I'm signed in but can't post anything, anywhere. If I got to Introduce Yourself I get "You cannot start a new topic." If I go to Gibson Lounge I get "You do not have permission to view this forum." Am I missing something or doing something wrong?
