Hi folks,
first a big hello to everybody !
I'm newly registered but have been lurking for a long time.
Recently I've been looking for an ES-100, 120 or similar and have been offered a new natural finish ES-100 (according to the seller).
I'm a bit suspicious though as some details seem to shout ES-60 instead of ES-100.
-- neck natural colour like the body instead of the darker brownish natural mahogany colour on vintage Gibsons and all ES-100s or ES-120s I've seen
-- wood grain not visible on the pix
-- headstock inlay plain white intead of pearl
-- 3 screws on trussrod cover
-- black switch tip, not aged brown
-- no orange label in the upper soundhole
-- no case included
Perhaps I'm overly suspicious, but I'd like to hear your opinion first.
Atm I'm leaning towards letting it go, the offer seems too good to be true.
Any comments much appreciated,
cheers,
stumble
Anybody selling a nice ES-100 or up in Europe ?
All offers welcome, might have some good guitars for trade, too, if anybody's interested
