Appreciate the advice on this guitar specifically, but also the insight into the general idea of buying vintage. Wisdom to everyone, and thank you once again.
It will black light just fine if it’s never had any breaks because it was never a Gibson in the first place…

tomajoha said: Agree there is something there - I was born in 59, so in many ways a Junior/Special is really my only affordable vintage option and even that gate has now closed at today's prices - For years I was after a good clean 59
I played a bad refin, player grade 59 that blew me away with regards to its character and playability - Re-fin black - Broken headstock - Good re-fret and great to play and at the time under 2K - I didn't buy it as I wanted a clean example that played/felt that way - Never found one so never went down the route - Neil at @IvisonGuitars was building some great 'replica's that caught my eye and played a couple of Rock n Roll Relic's that have some 'old school' in them - But now I wish I had brought that black re-fin as it was a killer to play
avoid.
if something is vintage , cheap and a bargain…
