After seeing this fake on Fibsons.com, Stu sent in details of his surprisingly similar “J-50″
“here’s some pics of my fake J-50. you can see the headstock shape is wrong, actually its a “Mitchell” i looked at a couple of dozen headstocks on ebay and other sites before i realized thats what it is…”
“its got some budget grover tuners, and a crazy label that puts production during a year the J-50 wasnt offered. you can see the 3 piece neck, not something gibson has done, the a-baloney sound hole ring, and the truss rod at the soundhole end of the neck.”
Thank you Stu for sending in the pictures and for showing us the irregularities in the guitar, as well as the Mitchell information. Now we all know what these guitars really are.
