RE: Jay Geils' 1959 Les Paul, incorrect description

I´d be vary cautius spending this much money on something that is so clearly incorrectly described. The auction text mentions a lot of the parts being non original to this instrument, but being vintage parts available in 1969. However the tuners on the instrument are clearly NOT vintage Klusons. They look like Schallers (Requiring larger holes in the headstock). These tuners were not to my knowledge available untill the mid eighties. Also the price seems a bit steep to me, considering that the instrument is refinished, and especially taking the apparently quite crude headstock repair into consideration.
Best regards, Lars.
