Re: Ebay, Hmm, What's this?

Very cool - I saw that third pic of the booklet and had to look twice because that sig at the bottom looked like Joe's...

But you are right - the seller definitely needs to post better pictures of that guitar... smile

You think???!!! Unbelievable how someone can have "1 of only 25 made" and take lousy pictures to display it!  Joe won't buy from Ebay and I know why.  Things like this.  So much subterfuge and machiavellianism involved in what should be simple transactions.  And ask as question?  It is out of the question!!! roll  Not even an offer to Email any kind of "extra info" as a follow up to a decent question. 

Even "feeler" postings should be made with the highest degree of sincerity and integrity.

Re: Ebay, Hmm, What's this?

These 57 re-issues were released about the same time as the Joe B CAB ones. They were all Glossy as opposed to VOS finish. Just R7s with a blue finish. I don't recall they had a particularly high price at the time. There were also some Candy Apple Red ones released at the same time.

Re: Ebay, Hmm, What's this?

With that price drop and other things, Spider tags this as FAKE.

Re: Ebay, Hmm, What's this?

Pfff. Too bad Gibson aren't doing runs of CAB JBs Studios or just regular Studios, especially since there's a demand. That said, I hope there's a nice hot seat in Hell reserved for those who counterfeit, steal, and screw people out of their money.

More reasonable if it's a real one.........you are protected with paypal/ebay if it's a fake

And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually.........
