That must be one of those guitars that Gibson made with wood from sunken ships  

soma1975

Tom Murphy is so heavy handed these days. 

ToneControl

must have been underwater for a while?
or put through a paint stripping bath?

Monstronaut

Serial suggests a 59 or a 59 reissue but zero feedback also suggests that the guitar doesn't exist.

Amusing variation on “I found this definitely all original 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard in my grandad’s loft but I have no idea what it is so instead of having it professionally appraised I’m going to sell it on Ebay and see how many optimists want to fight for it”.

Sassafras

I'm fairly sure I've seen this one advertised quite a few times by different sellers.
Definitely not a keeper.

So glad he put "used" in the title he could have easly got away with "new"

This is actually typical of what you find under “seller refurbished”.

darius

Brilliantly honest description. Almost Boris Trumpesque.

It's got to be bots bidding on this off the Gibson USA keywords.

I'm guess it's optimists who think that it might actually be real. It's quite well-done in some ways, and if he hadn't made the mistake of showing the insides of the body routs it would be quite a bit more so to the inexperienced.

What’s wrong with the body routs?

The shapes of them and the neck tenon.

Any idea what it actually might be?

It's one of Rory's little-known Gibsons.

Philly_Q

It's fascinating how fucked-up it is.  How on earth did it get into that state?

JMP220478

is it one of the 2010 Nashville Flood reissues ?
