It’s not “USA MADE, Gibson Les Paul Standard Guitar, with ORGINAL CASE, Owners Manual & Gibson Literature”. No no no no. The seller was SO sure this was original it took several messages and contact from eBay and Gibson to take down his listing. Or so it appeared, I don’t know if those guys pitched in at all, but I certainly messaged him a couple of times, even went into some details as to why it’s phony.
And on third day… It was taken down by the seller with a reply to a message he had received from another eBayer which simply read, “In case u didnt know,thats a chinese copy” (sic). No mention of the logo, headstock, truss rod cover, case, binding, heel, serial number, serial number stamp and jack socket all being incorrect, which is what I tried to use to convince him.
Maybe he didn’t want the information going to the counterfeiters who may use it to improve their copies! No, I’m not getting into it, please check out the pictures and go through the list, from a distance it’s actually a good fake, but a fake all the same.
