Posted this thread around midnight last night. Saw the reply from
@keto shortly after, PM’d him right away and got the go-ahead.
Messaged the seller but didn’t hold out much hope because the ad had 122 views in under 4 hours. Surprise! He replied immediately. Wound up messaging back and forth until about 1:30 am making arrangements.
Went and checked it out at 9:30 this morning. Dude had around 30 replies including a bunch from out of town, asking to ship. Bought it, brought it home, cleaned it up.
Turns out the box I had was a couple inches too small. The only L&M with a Les Paul box was across town so off I went. That’s okay, I had to get bubble wrap anyway...
Finally got it boxed up, settled up with Keto (don’t worry, he rewarded me for my efforts), and dropped it off at the post office about an hour ago.
Couldn’t resist taking some photos for the few hours I “owned” it.
Gotta love the tattoo Gibson logo and “fist” inlay
The frets are brass/gold coloured
Besides the “scoops” on the top, it has them going around the sides as well
BTW, it felt
really light. Weighed in at 7lbs3oz.
