Default Found On Craigslist: '49 Gibson L-48

I'm not a Craigslist shopper, but curious since I read a thread about "finds" every once in a while, I came across this.

Looks legit. At $1,800, it might be a real deal.

Because Craigslist purchases are in person and upon inspection, there's one way to know.

Looks like a really nice original specimen. I paid around 1100 for mine and it's been rebuilt and refinished. It's a late 40s version as well. They're nice guitars. 1800 for one in excellent condition could be a deal.
