If you buy it I suppose you might want to WIPE IT DOWN 🤪. No case. No indication about shipping.

I would want that Special cleaned before trying it out.

It would merit at a minimum a call to the doctor's office to get a date on the most recent tetanus shot.

Is it ok to wipe your Gibson down with a lysol or clorox wipe?

[specialk]

And maybe a little oil for his fretboard…

Killer guitar for the money.....once you chip off the crud.....

[Cboss]

That is really beautiful.. if it was local to me I think it would have a new home

[Deep7]

FYI, I communicated with the seller a few weeks ago. That white streak on the bottom left is in the finish and not a reflection.

It’s fucking disgusting isn’t it.

With that finish fork up and the CRUDE, hard pass...

[Jimbilly]

I have bought way too many crudded up guitars at pawn shops, that's not bad at all for in-person. But yeah, if you're going to list online, at least wipe it off a damp rag before taking photos. 

[crunchee]

Not bad for a Special FM.

that wierd spot looks like it needs something stronger than guitar polish  (naptha maybe?) 

or maybe some meguiars mirror glaze or 3m polish?

From Captain Beefheart's 10 commandments of guitar playing:

8. Don’t wipe the sweat off your instrument

"You need that stink on there. Then you have to get that stink onto your music."

                             JFYI. This should take it all out of the finish................. been dealing with "Finish Blush" or "Finish Fog" for years on various Yamaha Guitars. Sometimes moisture gets trapped between the top coat and the color coat. You can polish all you want but it's not going to come out because your only rubbing on the top coat, this works by a chemical reaction to get under that top finish and remove it. This is all-natural cleaner/ wax will get rid of it completely. I bought a 1979 Black Hamer "Sunburst" not long after I joined the Hamer Fan Club and it had some of that fogging on the back and this took it all off the guitar. Works great smells good and it won't harm Nitro or Poly finishes. I have used it on all my guitars with great results.

You can tell how often they change strings by the amount of dust under them.

That can also be from fingernails being worn down, if the guitar is played without a pick.  Or maybe even with one.  I've seen dealers used guitars for sale with the same pattern of 'dust'.  Hasn't anybody ever heard of compressed air?
