1947 Gibson L7-N (SOLD) | Garys Classic Guitars & Vintage Guitars LLC

That would seem to be a Chinese copy of a Gibson 1947 L7N. It's in Beijing, there is no Gibson on the headstock, just a single crown inlay. The ad doesn't say Gibson. It might be a decent guitar, and perhaps worth a try at the price, but I certainly would not expect an actual 1947 Gibson.

The OP was tongue in cheek.

I’d not be surprised if the actual photos are of an actual 40’s Gibson. They simply photoshopped the headstock. It’s likely not the guitar in the photos.

This is exactly correct. The pics are lifted from Gary's SOLD listings.. See CUSTOMAXE's post above.

This is a common marketing maneuver of the Chinese guitar manufacturers on eBay and other sites, i.e., "We can make you a guitar just like this _____" (fill in the blank: such and such Gibson or Sadowsky model, etc.)

Notice that at top of the listing it says:
Condition: New
Personalisation: Can be customized

But this is the first time I've ever seen an old guitar model used as their example, bad idea - or maybe not, it got you to look at their ad.

Nice to see a more realistic price for a change

I suspect they photoshopped off the logo using black and that the advert is meant to catch your attention rather than to sell you a vintage L7.
The advert is literally an advert but not for the guitar but rather their services.

So true!! I messaged the seller asking for pic of the actual guitar they were selling rather than pics from the internet. They replied, " Hi thereGuitar takes time to make, you can refer to the photos we listed "!
Actually, for fun, it would be interesting to go for it!! We've all paid more than that on a night out.
