A long shot I know ... anyone here have one they can part with? Thanks. MD

I don’t have one, but it’s an interesting guitar. The “plate” headstock moniker is wrong for a ‘62, and the F-holes could be closer to the original shape, but that model has a key ingredient: True Gibson mini-humbuckers. The fact that it was made in Indonesia (most likely by Samick) is also a plus, as most of the instruments I’ve seen from there have been well made.

There's a sort of "Franken-version" of one for sale on Reverb:

Yes there is Walrus. I saw that one. I the price was 400, I might do it. There was one with issues on the NYC Craigslist. I went to look at it. A replaced fingerboard, which is really kind of odd. I might have done it, but the frets were trashed and it looked like a neck twist. That one was priced at 400.

The gent with the black transparent one is dreaming at that price. A couple months of no action might give him a clue.

Found one. Yeah!!
