endofall 0 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hello everyone! Any help possible with this would be great! I have the chance to pick up this guitar for a great deal and everything seems to check out great with it. The seller has been amazing and sent a lot of photos but I just want to make sure that its 100% before I go through with the deal! I don't know a lot about this guitar, I know its an 05 with Seymour P-Rails. TonePros saddle with graphite,and has a hip shot and locking Grover's. Thanks for any help!

Dave F 245 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I just sold a similar one made in '08. This is an '04 Guitar Center special '68 reissue. The first two s/n digits are the year. Should have the thin 60's neck Naturally the locking tuners and hipshot are add ons. I believe it originally came with '57 Humbuckers The pickups are personal preferences but I think it devalues a re-issue. Don' know what you're paying, but I wouldn't go over $1600 Otherwise it looks real. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
endofall 0 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Dave thanks for the response! Yeah, it would be a little more than $1600 so I will see if he will come down just a little! Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Here's the one I just sold. It was in mint condition with the stock '57's pups and not nicked up around the head with a hipshot rubbing off the Custom decal. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121067366100?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibson CS 52 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 It indeed appears to be legit, however, it's a 2004 model rather than 2005. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
