    Default Gibson A1 on South Jersey Craigslist

    Saw this posted in today's Craigslist in South Jersey.

    Unfortunately, it's a terrible photo. Can't see the headstock crack. What year is it and how would you decide on a value? Seller is looking for the best offer over the next two weeks.

    Just paid a little much on a restoration Favilla the other day out of AZ. Seller seemed honest enough, never sent follow up photos, but accepted a personal check after delivery. It was pretty scary . Lesson learned. I'd want a lot more GOOD photos before even trying to figure out a price.

    The serial number dates it to 1911.

    Make a really low offer,even though the photo sucks it still looks beat. Prices are way down -cracked headstock? You might find something like that for $600, no cracks! I'd offer $300 and ask for better photos.
