I can just imagine some little old lady dropping off her late husbands guitar..." he played in a band in the 50's and it's been in the attic for years..i think it's called a Gibson..."... yeah right.......... more than likely the little old lady or one of the relations been on the 'net and found out the '54 goldtop is worth telephone numbers..........
