Unusual Vintage Les Paul Standard in Fresno CA for $1500

I called this seller and she sounds honest and legit - but some things about this Les Paul just don't add up. The serial number for one thing - it would put this as a 1964! Gibson didn't make Les Pauls from 1961 until 1968 (they only made the SG body shape with a Les Paul name for a few years in the early 60's). This would be a very rare bird indeed.

I asked her to verify the serial and some other info and she said she would take more pictures and text them to me - so I will post if they arrive.

Needless to say after having wasted $885 on guitar scams in August I won't be biting on this one. I suspect it is some kind of a hybrid, refinished or reworked guitar. Of course if it is a refinished 1961 it would still be worth a fortune. Otherwise it is at least $20K under fair market value. And such a guitar really should not exist at all.

Much too good to be true. IMO. - JC
