The turnbuckles holding the neck on are a really nice touch. Whoever did this to a lovely old Gib should be flogged.

Just wait . . . . . it'll show up at some future vintage guitar show with an asking price of 10 grand . . . . although the backside 'turnbuckling pickups' are a unique touch . . . .

Unbelievable!

In excellent condition this guitar would be worth $13,000 - $19,000. I could maybe understand the winning bid if this were one of those $150,000 gold tops, but it's not. This is like buying a $250,000 Ferrari that's drove off the edge of the Grand Canyon, crashed, and was totally demolished for $40,000.

And that Ferrari had a small block Chevy engine put in it.

I have just looked at this guitar again and on second sighting...well if you did this to the most cheapest guitar in the world and played in a tribute grunge band you would gain a lot of points but whoever bought it will have the challenge of a life time to restore it(if it is possible) to it's original looks and specifications..Good luck..and if the buyer is reading this then all of us here at the club would like to see it done stage by stage in photos.
