Fibsons.com – the fake Gibson guitar blog.

Ok, the Custom Shop Joe Perry Boneyard Les Paul, not to be confused with the 1996 limited run Custom Shop Joe Perry Signature model or the 1997 production run, has a unique “green tiger finish” top, similar to the reverse herringbone finish found on some Les Paul Standards. Though this copy (above) has the “Boneyard” logo on the headstock, (where you would usually see Les Paul’s signature) it does not have this special finish, with more of a flame style top. This chinese copy, as advertised with a soft case, or “gig bag” looks decent and as the headstock is at a distance it is hard to disregard as a fake, a real one of course comes with a Gibson Custom Shop hard case as standard, unlike this copy, you can however select a Custom Shop case for extra $$, you can even choose which style, (see picture below). A real one has different coloured speed knobs and a higher price tag, the copy is around $300.
