| Why would anyone take a rare classic like that and try to Gibsonize it? |

Location: Carle Place, NY | This is an abused guitar. The top is poorly refinished. The pickguard probably covers up other flaws. The headstock repair looks like a DIY.
It may sound OK though. It would be worth $50 to check it out and see how it sounds. If it plays as bad as it looks, then it's a candidate for punting. |
