If you’re in the land down under and you stumble upon Oztion.com.au and you’re thinking of buying one of the many Gibson guitars advertised for sale – BE CAREFUL. I could keep this site with material for months with the amount of cheap knock-offs some of their sellers, (one in particular) have had advertised for sale.
Fake Gibson SG
Most of the guitars are Les Pauls though they also have this interesting “Double Cut”, it hides it’s face in shame so the buyer has to go with a picture of the back and a headstock image, three screw truss rod cover alert.

Don’t be fooled by this one , it has the Angus ‘Lil Devil on the headstock and at a distance it almost looks the part, however the creator of this forgery didn’t get the moustache shape of the headstock quite right. Other things to take note; the pick guard is not quite the correct shape, (but only just out), and it has something written on what should be a blank truss rod cover. I’m not too sure from the picture, but it may also have a bolt on neck, not very Gibson USA. The eagle eyed will also see that it has “Gibson” etched into the Lyre vibrato, (see picture below), a real one would have “Angus” on it.
