PSA - Cheap Special FM

[geoff_hartwell]

This showed up on Reeverb.

Small fix on a replaced nut, looks to be a killer deal! Somebody snag it!

Already gone by now, 2 min. after your post.

 

BUT: Another cool 93 Graphic Special P90 (with no affiliation) is still online for acceptable dough, I suppose:

That was a smoking deal. I hope that guitar sees a few stages.

[Dave Scepter]

Gone!

[Victor (Fret Friend)]

That was a great price! You could fix that sliver issue easily if you wanted to...

[hamerhead]

Shows it's still for sale (for me, anyways).

[Nan0brain]

Aye, still for sale on Reverb, showing two offers have been made

Offers? That should have sold within seconds. Appeared as SOLD earlier so i don't know what happened there...

I hate to say it, but maybe it is one of those, too-good-to-be-true deals.

What is special about this model? No pun intended:)

IMO, a price like that price for a USA Special FM likely hasn't been around since The Pandemic, if not The Great Recession; even with the nut boogery, the possibly (?) changed PUs, changed knobs, gold tuners, and the lack of an original Hamer case.  If you mention the 'flaws' I just listed, you might be able to get the price lowered even more.

Doubt it, as the seller has a lot of transactions 

[Cboss]

Any ideas what these are?

With the embossed 'Gibson USA', gold HB covers and screws, plus the vinyl/plastic-covered lead on at least one of the pickups, I'm guessing they might be Gibson 490 and/or 498s.  There's no factory I.D. stickers on the bottom, obviously.

Congrats on a great score! That's a beauty and the price was way below it's value.
