Just stumbled on this..

text with the add states its a original 58 which had a bodycrack, photo 10 & 15.
Is this a familiar documented burst?
no affiliation btw.

It was mentioned earlier today, in a thread that was not about this guitar.
So, good thing to have a thread dedicated to this. :salude

Better photos are needed, including cavity photos.
I think I'm seeing a refin, with broken body [and neck, at the heel?].

Extra hole for a mini switch?

Headstock reamed out,Broken screw.

This looks like an early Reissue, 1980s pre-historic. The headstock logo and the tuners are identical to those early ones.

That's not a Gibson applied serial number from that era and forward to today. :ganz

Looks like a 58 serial number to me.

Going by the text in the link it isn't.

This guitar is not on display for sale, but as a museum piece and rare commodity for fun. Price is an indication of its value only.

The 16th fret should not be that close to the body as far as I know.

Something went on with the neck near the neck joint. There appears to be a crack. There are no closeups of the neck joint.

Correct!
Fixed Heelbreak and headstock break clearly visible on the photo's of the guitar in the original auction earlier this year.
Also a miniswitch hole between the pots.

Photo's from that auction:
