FYI...It is for sale again.
They have one on Reverb....SN 23..... that I am watching. They say it’s a floor model with wear they don’t describe. No warranty. The picture they show does not show the defect. Is this the same guitar?
Yes...023 is the one I got and returned. See the earlier posts. Thanks.
I'm going to stop in and check it out in the next few weeks. Curious in general, and specifically, as to whether the headstock issue has been repaired...will report my findings:dh!Wow! I’m suprised CME would lie and not show the defect in the picture. They probably think the next owner won’t notice. They want a lot for a defective guitar with no warranty.

Yeah, the really disturbing part to me is: the photo of the face of the headstock ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT SHOW this mark / defect. And the descriptive summary says it's in "Mint (used)" condition.
Note that Reverb is owned by (or at least it was) the same guy who owns Chicago Music Exchange.
This makes me more reluctant to do biz with them than I have been.
Well someone bought it. At least I think they did. I checked the listing again yesterday and then sent CME a message yesterday asking what Gibson ended up saying about it. Was it a defect? Was it a crack in the holly? Why did Gibson revoke the warranty on it? I was still mildly interested if the price was right. Yesterday, it was listed for 15% off...which would bring the cost down to about $5,100...which is much less than what I offered them when I was negotiating a discount because of the issue (back when I was potentially going to keep it)!!!
I haven't heard back from them and might not! I went to look at it today and it is not listed anymore.
Anyway, thanks again everyone for your input and comments. I appreciate it. I just hope whoever bought it knew about the potential issue/defect/whatever it was! Once again it was CC 31 A Mike Reeder serial number 023.
