TWilson Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 That's a nice looking guitar, Cunk. You should drive over there today and play it, then buy it so you can get out of your "No Gibson" funk! The serial # shows it to be a '92, not a '91 as advertised. You might be able to get it at a good , pre-Christmas price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayla Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 That's a purdy one, Cunk. You seriously thinking about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reddest flag I see is its very low no-reserve price -- that is maybe half of what it should be worth if it were in good shape with no issues of significance. The pickups are neither here nor there -- shouldn't particularly add value nor detract from the value of the guitar. It may be that the seller simply isn't aware of the price (score for the buyer); check out all the other items the seller has made transactions on (mostly sales, AFAICT): guitars are not listed. Or, there is a problem that hasn't been disclosed (score for seller). Suggest you ask a bunch of questions. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfden1 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Beautiful looking from what you can see from the pictures, which, since there are not close ups, is really not much. I would want to see a close-up of the bridge area (to see the saddle height) and the fretboard around the 12th fret, back of the headstock. Tell him your seriously interested and ask him for some more photos and a better description of its condition. "Very Good" doesn't mean much. Any cracks, breaks, repairs? How's the action? Will he give you a 48 hour return if you buy it? Does he have a BIN? Anyone have an idea of what this would be worth? I'm thinking $1500 in today's market, max, but what do I know. And, is this maple b/s? Can't tell from the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groove Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 hmmm... I live in Lansing, it's about 20 minutes away. Kind of want to play it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerpopper Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 That is a pretty nice *looking* guitar. If I lived close by, I would check it out before buying. Having said that, the seller is showing a 7-day, money back return policy on the listing, so there may be some protection there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefleppard Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 That would be this one I presume. ha! they wouldn't bring that one out for me last time i was there! it was like a spinal tap thing - i couldn't even look at it! really though, here's the one i meant. i wonder if it wants me...its seems priced to sell but its been there a couple months. i wonder if something's wrong with it or maybe, it just doesn't sound good. sure looks good though. http://elderly.com/vintage/names/gibson-j-100-xtra-%281993%29--20U-12090.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWilson Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Cunk- Just looked at the J-100 you spoke of. That's a right handsome guitar. If it sounds like it looks I'd grab it. If I didn't have a J-200 I might have to try it out. You live close enough to play it, don't you? Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually a guy who I play in a band with, prices all the high-end vintage stuff there and knows pretty much every guitar and mando that's in the store, he's given me some heads up on some really nice playing guitars. I have practice in about two hours I'll ask him how that Gibson is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLiveSoundGuy Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 CUNK is posting a lot of EBAY ads....he must have some SERIOUS GAS.....lol.... Yeah I noticed that too. I'm guilty of watching E-bay constantly. So I didn't say anything...kind of a "Pot calling the kettle black sort of thing." I say post all you like Cunk. You're finding some good'uns.
