I would say its a copy or re-neck, but Route66guitars is high bidder. What do you guys think?

This has been mentioned in another thread. It seems to be the same guitar offered on eBay and discussed a couple of weeks ago at length on this Forum.

It did not sell last time at $7100.00 and now it's being offered by another seller at no reserve. The seller has zero feedback and the photos look dodgy.

Scott, what's your take? Are you just covering the bases in hope that this auction is genuine?

To me it looks 99% fraudulent. I've been wrong before, though.

I should add that the ad copy is the same as the previous ad, but the seller is a different seller in a different state.

The auction is a fake. I know for a fact that it sold off Ebay after the auction ended, to a prominent collector.

The auction is a fraud but the guitar is real, and a completely original but odd 360/12S variant made in May of '64.
