RE “Yet Another Fake Les Paul Custom”

Matt dropped in an email to point out another issue with the fake white Les Paul Custom, in fact a good tip to spot ANY fake Gibson Les Paul Custom;

Hi,
Great site.  I think I saw that White Beauty on Criagslist here in NYC a few months ago.

Also one thing to note on Les Paul Customs is the fretboard.  It’s an easy spot…
Should be Ebony which is hard to obtain and hard to fake.  I have never seen
a real LP Custom without an Ebony fretboard unless it’s some mega-unique custom shop thing.

Thanks,
-Matt

Matt is quite correct, thanks for the email Matt.
