Looks bang on to my inept eyes  

adamm82

thanks,  just looks strange compared to my 3 gibsons they are not as clear on mine. though they are newer models

Looks good to me.

I used to own one like that. It's genuine.

underdog

Same here, can't spot anything untoward

Yep, looks fine to me.  

I mean apart from the obvious tells such as dodgy looking hardware or the decals on the headstock looking naff, there's no scarf joint so I'd say that's legit.

BTW - The serial numbers show much more prominently on a satin/faded finish compared to a standard finish.

The sellers name is J Potten.
I swear to God I read that as "J Rotten" and had to double take!

Richtone had one exactly like that (same year and model) in their web site's 2nd hand section for £469 a while back, so...

The serial numbers on many of the faded models look like that.  It's genuine - nothing dodgy there.

I quite fancy one of those, too.  If the price was closer to £500, I might have hit the BIN on it.
