rog666 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hi there! Yes, I'm a newbie here. Proud owner of a Gibbie SG Standard by the way! The reason why I'm here: A guy in my neighbourhood is selling this 'Gibson', but I can't find any model on the web that remotely resembles this model. There's no info in the advert; he doesn't seem to know what it is (...). He's asking 1000 Euros. I'm not sure if it's a real Gibson. Any info is welcome!!! http://postimg.org/gallery/ms314uuo/ -Rogier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 It's a heavily modified ES-120T. The dead giveaway is the one F-hole. Here's what it looked like originally: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rog666 Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 Thanks a lot man! Do you think it's worth the 1000 Euros he's asking? (about 1100 US Dollar) -Rogier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 It's lost any value it ever had as a stock original instrument. As a player or utility instrument however, it may be worth every penny. If you like it, buy it, but don't for one second think of it as an investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliasphobias Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Good call on all fronts KSD. Once they've been modified it's up to buyer and seller to arrive at a fair value. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
