Wow, this is pathetic...

[guitarmory]

Scamming on a whole new level. Even if this was a '63 the fact that this "expert" couldn't or didn't pick up on something as simple as witch hat knobs is sad.

watch the video linked in the craigslist ad

 

[bizzwriter]

Is it my imagination, or did it look like the model number on the orange label was inked in with a sharpie? (at about 1:35 in the video) THICK.

Oh -- and those are NOT original '60s PAF labels! (7:04 in the video)

Looks like a narrow nut -- my guess is it's a '67. With much newer pickups.

$17.5k? Ummm... No.

 

[Mcloudnine]

That guy is totally clueless.

 

[Unbound Dot Neck]

That guy is totally clueless.

I love the part about the cut / spliced pickup wires with the Electrical Tape connected to the bogus PAFs as being the "factory soldered" conclusive evidence. That is almost like a Saturday Night Live routine right there.

Craigslist: A place where idiots with no capacity to sell on other venues hope to find someone dumber than themselves to rip off.

Headstock angle looks shallow...

 

[Axel]

Why aren't anyone commenting the video itself? It would be a bit more constructive and maybe it would help steering interested people away from this seller/"deal".

 

[snakecharmer]

They are replacement witch hat knobs. Compare the numbers (the font) to originals - they are not the same.

 

[goldenyears]

No L toolmarks at all

 

[brandtkronholm]

Someone should call Turnpike Music garage and tell them to take this video down. There is so much wrong about it in every way.

It is a slow motion train wreck...

 

[TM1]

That guy show have his head examined.. bogus!
Those so-called "PAF's scream `57 Classics.

 

[Kim R]

All comments here were right on..... I actually did a little repair to an early sixties 335 not to long ago (pot) so this one piqued my interest.

Funny: When this joker started to talk about "PAF's," his eyes did a tell-tale torque roll in his head that almost made me dizzy :rofl

Flagged.

 

[OKGuitar]

Holy crap-this guy's in the next town over from me. I can go tell him how wrong he is in person. Better yet, maybe I'll bring him one of my 345s just to see what he'll give me for it. If that one's worth $17,500, my mint '60 has to be worth $35K.

 

[Mike Shaw]

Was shrink tubing around in the early 60's?

 

[sliding-tom]

No vintage expert by any means, but to me the body shape (ears) was a dead giveaway right from the start ....:wah

 

[danny2plus2]

This guy can't be so stupid, more likly he's in on the fraud.

 

[Mainah]

They must've turned off the camera just before his pants burst into flames.

 

[kharrison]

I'm beginning to think this is some sort of gag of some kind.
