Empty Caveats in the old corral.
I went to a dealer a few weeks ago and a beautiful old RB 250 was for sale at a pretty astonishing price. I'm fairly good at detecting forgeries, and figured out what parts were not original (and hence the low price). The owner of the store walked by and said "we're STAMPING "this is not an original Gibson" on the inside of the resonator". That's an ethical store! It's the "12th Fret" in Toronto.
