Ishibashi one looks to have sold. This is still cheap for the next $2000 worth of bids, though.

The photos on that auction aren’t particularly informative when the auction refers to significant “play” damage.

It's certainly frustrating when the photos don't reflect the condition. I've fallen foul of that.

Top edge of the headstock looks chipped all along it. No idea how one achieves that. There's checking around the controls and indentations front and back of the body and headstock. It's been knocked and bumped and obviously not treated with kid gloves.
I'd suggest if you prefer your guitars minty, this one's best avoided.On the other hand. It's starting to relic nicely with that checking and at the current price would be a perfect working Lester. I see you're bidding against all the usual suspects.

Isn't the 'guy' selling it a forum member?

Not sure, but it looks great to me at $4800, let alone the current $3200.

TmcB is one of the owners of Family Store. Maybe they are selling on behalf.

These are not the LP bursts you are looking for.
