    Default $4k Gibson MM? Hmmm...

    Here's an odd one
    Unbound headstock and back makes this look like a regular old F5G, but it appears to have a label certifying it as a master model. The seller seems honest. What's the deal with the apparently incorrect label?

    My radar doesn't seem as "on alert" about this auction as others I have seen on eBay........seems sound but that is just my guess. Don't you just love it when the seller says "He also informed me that he picked this one out of ten F-5G's he played".........well if the owner can't carry a note, is tone deaf, etc.........means nothing to me....:-)
    Peace,

    It's just a plain F5G. and in this market it's probably $700-1000 too high.

    Yeah, agreed. Seller is probably not aware that advertising Master Model actually means something rather specific, and several thousand dollars above what he claims they go for new
