<p>Sure sounds fishy to me ... craigslist can be crazier than eBay sometimes, but at least on eBay you're not actually meeting up with the crazy people ;-)</p>
<p>Yes, you'd expect to see the rectangular bridge with that pg. </p>

<p>Thanks all. Ultimately,</p>
<p> I missed the opportunity to buy this one. I can't help but wonder if this was some sort of craigs list scam though. When I was adamant about meeting in a public location the seller suddenly sold the guitar to someone else. I know this is certainly a possibility, but something about it seems shady to me. They also followed up with an email to me letting me know that the person who bought it told them the guitar was worth more and gave $1500. for the guitar…</p>

<p>The images are rough indeed to decipher anything...but an LG wouldn't have that bridge..could have been swapped I suppose but I'd expect something 1" wide the full length...</p>

<p>I'm no expert, but I used to have a J-50 (not as good as this one!). The proportions look right for a J rather than an LG. Please refer the seller to me if you don't take it.<G></p>

<p>Date looks right, but judging from the images it looks more like an LG 1 or LG2. Get the measurement of the lower bout, and check for X-brace or ladder. At $800 you can't lose either way. Tom</p>

If that's an 'X' at the beginning of the serial number( found on the neck block), then that would date the guitar to 1954.<br />
