hopefully the you guys can help on this one. Im trying to see if this is a 59 RI http://cgi.ebay.com/1993-Orville-Gibson-59-RI-Les-Paul-curly-maple-top-/110584470878?pt=Guitar&hash=item19bf591d5e

i dont mind the weight at all i used to play a Gibson Les Paul Pro Deluxe and that beast was well over 10lbs but it had such a tone to it! and sustain for days

they funny things is, now they both cost right around the same. Maybe ill just save up a bit more and get both

so after working a **** load of over time and mowing a crap load of acres (i live out in the country) and am trying to decide which one of these is closest to a 59 LP or if anyone else knows of a model that is close

I have no idea but the prices are very cheap. hope he ships overseas but havent been able to contact this guy, since everything is in Japanese

so sometimes you do get charged and sometimes you dont? or sometimes just asses the items value and then bend you over

i was trying to contact him on a better price but its not up any more

any one know how much USA charges for import taxes on guitars from Japan?

any one tell me if this is a good buy? http://cgi.ebay.com/Orville-LPS-80F-Photo-Flame-Sold-Is-/300447767906?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item45f4151d62 anyone own one of these?

in which classified city did you put it in?

one of the local guitar tech's would fix it for 100 usd. but i might just wait for another to pop up. on the other had if the guy is willing to come down a few hundred i might just get it. Anyone know about Edwards guitar? Seems like the great majority of Orvilles i find on Ebay are pretty high...
