Tim G Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Good morning, i just saw this listing in No. California and was curious more than anything what you guys thought. Not sure if it's legit or not but if it is you couldn't wrong for the price (kinda looks real to me). It's a little too far for me and i'm not willing to send any $. It's cool decoration if nothing else for that price. Thought it'd be interesting to get your guy's comments. Heck maybe one of you lives close enough to grab it! Cheers! https://monterey.craigslist.org/msg/d/willits-gibson-acoustic-vintage-guitar/7436904605.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Heck....I'd pay $150 for it even if it was fake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobouz Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) The guitar is legit. If the seller & deal is legit, then it’s a screaming give-away of a deal, as the guitar appears to be in rather good condition. And in this day & age of easy information access via the internet, that sends up an automatic red flag of caution. Without digging deeper to narrow it down - it’s got a truss rod, so it’s an L-style acoustic archtop from the mid 20’s to early ‘30s. Typically these have very chunky necks, but can be a joy to play if you enjoy the punchy archtop acoustic tone.

rbpicker Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Yeah, and probably all six of the strings need to be replaced….you start getting into some money. I think I’d pass. rb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim G Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 i was surprised to see this myself and i thought to myself it's too good to be true. He say's he'll ship it but i don't if want to take a chance in sending money. It's super cool looking tho! If one of you guys want to try it let me know how it goes!!!

So rare to see immediate interest in shipping on CL. All he needs is a handful of people to pay the asking price plus $50 shipping to have a good day. Usually with the internet it's the opposite: people who see Gibson on the headstock and think they've hit the lottery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
