Definitely NOT a Gibson. Not a Gibson body, not a Gibson neck. Putting a Grabber pickup, nameplate and Gibson-branded Schallers on a homebuilt POS and calling it a "vintage Gibson Grabber" is fraud. OTOH it's not worth pursuing because nobody in his right mind would buy it except for parts, and not at anywhere near that price.

Yep. And have him ship the electronics and hardware only. Let him burn the rest in his fireplace next winter.

That is at the very least no Gibson Grabber body even in its unmolested state. Gibson Grabbers, Rippers and G-3s have huge routings underneath the pg (probably not only for production reasons, but also to reduce weight, my unrouted prototype sans pg weighs a ton),



those are missing here (the upper cutaway of the "Hacker" is also not wide enough).



Perhaps a body of a Ho Grabber if at all.

The headstock might have been bitten off by Gene though, so that adds value.

Looks like ash to me, a wood that Gibson never ever used.
