Members milosch Posted July 28, 2009 Members Share Posted July 28, 2009 Could be. Sounds a little steep, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Prages Posted July 28, 2009 Members Share Posted July 28, 2009 Looks legit to me, though the pics aren't the best. I'm pretty sure I see binding over the fret ends, which is usually not there on fakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sxyryan Posted July 28, 2009 Members Share Posted July 28, 2009 If it was me, I would contact the buyer and ask for a couple full body shots. If it's legit, he/she should be happy to help you out on an auction with a high value. Edit: just read the couple of post below. N/m. I didn't really know what the retail on a 335 was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rog951 Posted July 28, 2009 Members Share Posted July 28, 2009 Looks good to me and I have the same guitar in the same finish. Crappy pics though. Can't stand it when you don't get at least one full shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members strtdv Posted July 28, 2009 Members Share Posted July 28, 2009 Probably legit, but be warned that ES339's (over here in the UK anyway) have a reputation for being highly variable in fit and finish, and almost universally requiring a new nut.

Members 58flame Posted July 28, 2009 Members Share Posted July 28, 2009 Almost all of them need a new nut? Wow. How do they sell any at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metalheadUK Posted July 28, 2009 Members Share Posted July 28, 2009 I dont like Gibson sale pics that dont show the bottom of the truss rod cover....though it does look fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelSaulnier Posted July 28, 2009 Members Share Posted July 28, 2009 Sometimes you feel like a nut.Sometimes you don't.I'd say real, but requires negotiation before purchase!M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mac_C Posted July 28, 2009 Members Share Posted July 28, 2009 The pics definitely show a legit Gibson. One of things to always look at is the bridge. Every fake I have seen has a large bushing bridge like you would see on an Epiphone or any other import with a tune-o-matic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
