Reads like a deliberate joke rather than a stupid scam. As a joke it's pretty funny. As a scam it's pretty poor.

She’s a beauty, alright, but why no headstock pics? Something’s ringing alarm bells for me.  Were 29’s prone to neck breaks? If not, I’m sold on this one.

That’s a wonderful ad.

Only a truly brilliant instrument could be played so little. I'm in

"The wood comes from a genetically engineered oak tree - now banned in the guitar market for being too good"

Some great gags specifically aimed at a place such as this. Very good indeed.

Apparently the Brian May certificate is his O Level in creative writing

Close but no cigar.I'm looking for the 1928 model.


Always wanted a birth year guitar.

That made me chuckle...

The black and white pic is a nice touch, everyone knows they didn't have color photography way back then.  BTW, just how old is Brian May?

I've asked the seller whether he can send me some further daguerreotypes.

That ad totally cheered my morning up ... must dig out my 1942 'Dig For Victory' limited edition Marshall combo in special RAF camouflage colours (authenticity certificate signed by Lord Beaverbrook).

I take it 1929 means it was finished just before half past seven ;-)

Aye right, I'd imagine the Gibson factory workers clock off just after lunch time to continue their drinking session

LMAO. That really does look like it was "found under my grandad's bed".

Sure it's a joke? That dust looks pretty old.

fandango

It looks like Gibson have finally nailed the relic look. Even the dust looks genuine.
