This has hit eBay again... the seller says it is for the last time before he
strips the guitar and parts it out

I sure hope this does not happen. (I doubt he'd make more than the asking price of this guitar since all the hardware will be in metric and not fit anything needing Gibson USA parts, but I digress...)
The positive thing is that the seller now has it somewhere near the realm of a realistic price at $350.
