? I'm tempted LOL !

This one needs a lot of TLC unfortunately, but could make a nice long-term project.

The AC30 on Gumtree is not in good shape at all (inside and outside) and will cost a lot to fix...so the asking price of R9000 will have to be substantially reduced to make it a worthwhile project.

seems real enough to me? :-\

+1. And unless it is an oldie, it is a mediocre price.

according to the guitar dater project:
Your guitar was made at the
Nashville Plant, TN, USA
June 20th, 2006
Production Number: 315

but who knows?

kapepper

well, it could be real, but

look at how crooked the tuners are set on the back
a bit to much GibsUn in the logo

and it looks on the picture a lot of plastic

well, i am no specialist in es 335s in any case

kapepper

and it looks like it supposed to be a es 355 or something like that

singemonkey

Yes. It's fake.

For starters: not a 335. It's a fake 355. Nothing utterly conclusive at first. Wrong truss-rod cover. Slightly wonky Headstock binding. Slightly wonky diamond inlay. Dubious looking pickup wires.

Conclusive: factory installed Bigsby-alike. Gibson installs Bigsbys on 355s. I've never seen Gibson install any non-Bigsby, Bigsby-like tailpieces on any guitar. Definitely a fake. Should be reported. This guitar probably cost R3.5K. Undoubtedly worth even less on guitar quality.

Edit: Serial numbers are for finding information on your legit Gibson. They have less than no value in determining whether your guitar is legit.

no fret end nibs ?

The position and spacing of the control knobs are also wrong.

Yup, retail is about R5700 on that combo. Not totally blown away by the MG range though.
