I think the guy knows he stole it and is trying to make a few bucks.

I wish he'd have waited until he received the guitar.

I see it here:

Freebird, two things: First he bought it fairly inexpensively. Secondly, he's in business. Can't blame him really though it probably feels cheap. Once I sell something, I let all of the emotional attachment go too. Huh? Not sure I can understand? He's using the "there's a sucker born every minute" ...

Now that's a beauty!

Seriously, why all the drama?

Welcome to the Forum ... and the wrong subforum.

Good luck!

Thanks for the new pics. Nice guitar! Temptation is an evil thing!

Nipple or not?

Your heading and the craigslist title says:

1998 Orville by Gibson 59' Les Paul with an amazing top! Big PICS! - $1000 (KCMO)

Did I miss something? It says 'Orville' on the headstock, not ObG.

Perhaps the Phantom knows?

Nice look!

To me, it's a collector-only item. WAY too pricey.

Diamond: Good point. I've bought some of the new Tokais and they are very, very good. My interest in Tokais leans towards the old stuff ... LS 70 and higher. I've owned quite a few of these. However, these days, the pricing on the old Tokais gets well into (and above) the range of a good used Gibson...

No, not at all.
