Scam or stolen, I don't know, but even at that price I wouldn't buy it from someone with feedback of "1" and not a single picture of the actual guitar.  

Anybody who buys a guitar from an eBay ad with nothing but a stock photo deserves whatever shite they end up with, frankly.

(Edit:  Now I've looked at his other items, SCAM most definitely.)

Hmmm. Not sure, very cheap for a 'new' 335. Looking at feedback the seller sold a Mike Bloomfield LP for £1750. I don't think they would have made a pricing error twice so suspect a scam. Proceed with caution is my thought on this one!

Isn't it sad what eBay has become.

If the scammers aren't trying to rip off the unwary buyer, then eBay and PayPal rip you off with their charges.

I think you would get a guitar and it would say gibson on it.

It just wouldn't be from London and it wouldn't be a Gibson....

Hmmm- he's just down the road from me

South Norwood is 5-10 mins by car from Croydon

He only joined eBay on 20th Jun - I would avoid

Actually - I think everybody should ask him for proper pix to rattle his cage
