Ranjit‘s sent in another one, this time a nice looking Les Paul Custom. Could you spot the differences?

“Here’s another one for ya. Of course if you sell it as a fake it’s okay right …. yeah right.”

A tricky one. Look at the pots placement. Do you see? Ok, look at the headstock…

Yes the headstock looks ok, yes the Gibson logo isn’t the worst you’ve seen, but look at that split diamond inlay, that is way off the genuine article, as is the truss rod cover. If you want another discrepancy look at the frets going over the binding, you see? Oh you do, good.

Many thanks again to Ranjit for the email and the pictures. If you’re in need of a new Gibson and you’re in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, be sure to seek him out at Long & McQuade.
