If that is a faded, I would say no since you can get them for around $600 used here in the States. If that is a Heritage Cherry, then I would say yes, good price as they are $1299 here on average |

I would, but since I'm European, Gibson is not a "domestic" company,
rather an import and thus I'll have to pay skyhigh import-fees.
so... the $700 offer at Sam Ash would likely translate into something
close to the price I posted, due to taxes and fees. |

Nice finish!
I say go for it, providing you can financially support it. As its a Gibson, it's resale value will never drop too much |

honestly, I don't really care about resale value 
as odd as it may seem, I don't buy guitars as an investment and if I
was looking to make money, there would probably be a few better
markets than guitars and/or musical instruments 
with that said...I pushed the BUY button so it should be
here sometime during next week  |

had to jump on it, since it was so "cheap"
