This white guitar is supposed to be a Les Paul Supreme, the headstock shape is slightly off, though the inlaid “Supreme” motif may sway some into thinking it’s genuine. lf you’re looking at getting a Les Paul Supreme from an unknown source check that the back of the body is carved and not flat. The fake Les Paul Supremes that I have seen have a flat back with the usual Les Paul cavity covers where the pots and selector switch are wired in. A real Les Paul Supreme does not have these cavity covers as the back is all carved wood.


The Supreme motif looks reasonable and the truss rod cover isn’t an immediate give away but the shape of the headstock tells us that the name on it is the only thing this guitar has in common with a real Gibson guitar.
