Torture Listing - could it be for real? Only the Shadow Knows...

Every once in a while a listing like this turns up - part of me suspects it might be from a guy just trying to torture us. Or it could be exactly what it appears to be: A late 50's single-cut Gibson Les Paul Jr. for only $250.

Selling for Grandpa... uh huh. Hmmmmm....

Picture is so blurry it could be even be an Epiphone. But...
