yes

[volvo1800]

Why is it fake? I don't understand.

I dont think they even have those cheesey stickers on new les paul custom shops

[crawfish]

looks to be a rosewood board on a custom

Yeah I noticed that . . I emailed him asking questions about it. . . iv seen lightly colored ebony before though.

[Bro Blue]

It's not 100% fake. The case looks real.

[Mazi Bee]

It's only 77.85% fake. The rest is all genuine.

[rog951]

Look at all that headstock above the tuners!

[EmeeBee1982]

It's fake I work for a high revenue music distributer and stare at Gibsons, Fenders, etc all day long, this is not an authentic Gibson

[A3C]

does a one-legged duck swim circles?

[volvo1800]

Ha I want to go look at it and act like I'm going to buy it .. . then call in the swat.

[BG76]

you have a lot of time on your hands.

[cratz2]

Maybe my eyes are going, but in that one pic, it doesn't look like the pickup rings line up properly.

Not only a fake, but a bad fake.

If you have some time to waste, go look at it, then say, 'Sure I'll give you $35 for it.'

[mikesr1963]

Either confirm it's fake and state exactly why with evidence or shut the {censored} up.

I believe that is an artifact of a bad digital image. If you look at the fretboard inlays, they appear to "sliced" and out of alignment (perhaps it was an artistic choice by the photographer, who is a fan of Picasso).

I'm far from an expert, but I could make no judgment based on those bad pics.

[Yogi_Sizzle]

Its fake. Look at the Knob alignment and that sticker on the back, Screams fake. I also bet if you went to see it it wouldn't have Fretboard nibs either. Case Looks just like the one that came with my fake

^^^^^^^^^

Either the lister or his brother

[catalinagooseV2]

Peter Frampton model only comes in Ebony.

[bigconig]

It's not 100% fake. The case looks real.

Actually I think that's fake too. Looks like the logo is sprayed rather than screened and it's definitely not a custom shop case.

[mike-o]

even in that tiny picture you can tell that the pickup rings aren't even lined up

- The case, if real, is the type issued with non-Custom production Gibsons, and not appropriate for the guitar.

- The headstock is misshapen - too much room between the tuners and open book.

- Tuners are too close to the edge of the headstock.

- The sticker on the back has no business being there.

- It appears to have a rosewood fretboard. No Gibson Les Paul Custom, artist series or not, has a rosewood board.

- The cavity plate is symmetrical - it's asymmetrical on authentic Gibsons.

- The knobs are placed incorrectly. The volume and tone knobs for each pickup should be parallel with the neck/strings, but they're askew. Also, there's more room between the bridge controls than the neck ones, when it should be the same distance for both.

 

Happy now, prick?

[catalinagooseV2]

Only Chinese fakes have that Gibson sticker on the control cavity cover.

[volvo1800]

Yeah I figured as much, too bad that prick has it .. . I want it to mod .. .

This is sweet. Counteroffer $1850, the last penny you have for the month, tell him you know it's low but it's the best you can do and you'd consider it a favor. When he takes it show up in blackface with a certified check and tell him in a thick nigerian accent you are the man to take delivery and here is the check. If he says "cash only" tell him you have the proper ATM deposit if hell take that. Then whip out a rubber footlongdoubledong and hit him in the mouth as hard as you can. Hopefully you break his teeth. While stunned, hit him three or four times to the now protected face until you see blood streaming out of his nostrils. Wrap the dong around his neck and choke him until he falls to the ground. {censored} him hard in the ass with the dong and as he comes to from the rectum shredding agony, shriek at the top of your lungs, "ONE ATM DEPOSIT, COMING UP!" then take the buggering end of the double dong and shove it in his bloody mouth as he chokes on it. While he frantically flails his arms, counter-offer him $14 dollars. I'll bet he'll take it.
