They look like the sort of tuners you'd normally see fitted to
lower-end
budget guitars.....

Besides, do Gibson list Fireburst as a colour in their catalogue?.....
It looks pretty genuine to me.....easy £2,000 or more if it's genuine
anyway. His telling people not to bid high will draw the bids like
woodworm & mice to a moldy guitar case during the last few hours.

So an original 57 Strat goes for $76,000 when you can get a decent new

one
for $$1500. But a 58 LP would only go for $4000 when a decent new one
would cost you umm...$4000


Who said only??? I said 'easy £2,000 or more'.....probably a lot more, the
£2,000 was a previously mentioned amount.

check out ebay.com, Gibson Les Paul, then highest bids...............$98,000
(11 bids) for a 57 sunburst that has some replaced parts.............
