I spotted this Orville Les Paul on the Australian Ebay

the guitar is in Japan with free delivery

what would the dangers be in trying to win it ?

and is that guitar worth having ?

your thoughts would be most appreciated.

Look at this page.Third Hand Collectibles - Vintage and Re-issue Japanese Guitars. Orville, Greco, Tokai, Epiphone
Half way down. Good axe. Average price 1600 to 1900. I think you will see a bidding war as the offer winds down.

Hi TigerKraw, from an ebay perspective the seller has a 100% feedback so they're pretty reliable, there is always the concern of postage but the seller knows their guitars so will probably make sure the guitar is well packed and he is offering full insurance these were a limited editions and most of the parts were made in Japan, also these are becoming quite rare, the flame tops are the most collectable
Here's more info on them.
