I'm looking at a Reverb listing for a vintage 1967 Gibson ES-335. The seller claims the unplayed guitar was discovered "under-the-bed" of the original owner's family house. Perhaps I'm wrong... but IMO it looks too perfect, and then the red flags...
Here's a link to the Reverb listing.......

Just looking at the limited photos from the listing ....I'm seeing potential red flags which give me pause. :dang
For example:
1. The "Gibson" logo on the headstock looks very odd.
2. The pick guard seems to wide, the dimensions don't look right.
3. The neck heel looks odd, it's somewhat large and rounded in appearance.
4. The "f" holes look odd, position seems off.
5. The location of the "crown" inlay on the headstock appears "off".
See photos from listing below....Opinions??
