It sure looks real, but is in such great looking condition. The open truss rod cover would make it a fairly early one and it looks like dual truss rods in there? The inlays looks custom and not the typical ones, the gold plated output pin jack looks in too good a shape to be original. I wonder how many pins it has. If it is real, that is a great price.

Opps, I just read the ad again and it mentioned the gold plated hardware.

Brave is the word here. I just had a friend who responded to a Craigslist ad for a laptop and was beaten with a brick and robbed. Very well could be legit, but if someone is going to personally check it out, please play it safe taking a friend (a very large one if possible) and arrange to meet in a public place
