A poor attempt to con someone by putting a couple of cheap Gibson stickers on a Guyatone and try to sell it as a vintage instrument. Just hope nobody falls for it. , eBay have been notified and I hope they act swiftly to remove it from their site.

Well, the complaints got the listing changed. It's now listed as a "vintage Guyatone" @ 300 BP.

I was one of those (probably many) that emailed the seller. I don't think any fraud was intended. After looking through the sellers past listed and sold items. I realized that musical instruments were not something he normally sold. I figure he picked it up somewhere and was just going by the Gibson decal as to what it was. His reply to me is cut and pasted below. I really doubt he would know the difference between a Clinesmith and a Rogue..... Shocked
