I've been interested in old L series Gibson archtops lately and I came across this today. E-bay sellers never cease to crack me up. Check out this "near mint" !?! beauty ...

Yes, I'm glad the seller's terminology is now crystal clear:

"Near Mint" equals
"vintage character play wear" equals
"some signs of cosmetic wear" equals
"no serious divets (sic) or wear spots "
and "the highest degree of excellence"
:roll: :roll: :roll: :lol:
