Now I am going to make a statement here. I don't know whether it fits into the category of other people's statements or not. But whether it fits into their category or whether it doesn't, it obviously fits into some category. So in that respect, it is no different from their statements. However, let me try making my statement... - Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings, Translated by Burton Watson (New York: Columbia University Press, 1964)

The cheapest Gibson ever?
« on: February 12, 2008, 04:35:57 PM »
Hi all.

I wonder what you more knowledgeable forum members think of this?

Oh well. The seller won't ship abroad, so at least I won't get fooled.   :'(

Edit: the original price was just eleven dollars, but has just jumped up to 50. I guess it's going to climb...

LG-3? Late 40's/early 50's? Looks real nice and probably refinished, in fact almost certainly if you compare the condition of the case. See http://www.elderly.com/items/20U-7897.htm

It will certainly get over a grand, pushing 2 I would guess.

I agree, it looks like a refinished Lg-3.  Looks like there has been a back headstock plate added - which might indicate a broken headstock repair. My guess is a grand at most... because of the refinish.

Save your money Pan.
