The devil is in the details...I mean "extreme" details.

The fact that I put it on such a public forum assures an honest motivation.
I'm still laughing at how well "hooked" I was and many others were too at first, nice prank! Excellent work to be sure.
The difference between a joker and a wit?
Timing!
You timed it just perfectly!

Tombo, take it easy on yourself. You were not alone.
just getting back to this thread - i glanced at it when posted and thought, like everyone else, nice to see another Loar surface. beautiful instrument. All i can say is wow, Gary you did an impressive job on this. i have seen a good number of Loars personally and when i looked at the pics, i didn't see anything that would cause me to doubt it was authentic. the finish my friend is absolutely nailed on this and usually, right off the bat you can look at a Loar without even touching it and tell just from that.
Great work.
there was actually a true story of this happening here in central NC some years ago. a young viola player came into one of the guitar shops with a 24 LL mandola that had been gifted to her. absolute mint condition

It was the day early that made it work so well, actually. Had it "appeared" on the first, I think more of us guppies would have seen the joke right away.
Like I say, timing!
Have a wonderful day!

I can't pull up the page you linked to Gary. I get the following message from Facebook:

Works for me. Try it again
Apparently the link doesn't work for some. It's simply my Facebook page that anybody should be able to access.
It said the same for me, so I went home.

I'm having trouble downloading it to the 'cafe. Sorry
Gary,
Can you upload it to your own YouTube channel(page)?
From there it's easy to link in a post here on the Cafe...

The sound is just as perfect as the looks, to me. Whatever double-blind Gibsons aficionados say. And nice playing, too!
Raising the old question: if all sensory information says "Gibson", isn't it just that?

At only a fraction of the cost of the original!
And here I thought I was the shill...
