Johnny 6 String Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 sorry, did not realize the pictures were not uploaded correctly, here they are.  Serial No is 00170426 Hey Temco;  Think this was a Deluxe that originally had mini humbuckers that have been swapped for P90’s.  Although it could be a special run for one of the big box chains.  Johnny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjsinla Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 sorry, did not realize the pictures were not uploaded correctly, here they are.  Serial No is 00170426 That serial number has been on many fake Gibsons. My guess is that this guitar is a copy. Look closely, you can see issues even in this small pic. Google that serial number.  Here’s a link to a member asking about a goldtop with the same number.  http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/64039-help-is-this-a-real-les-paul-standard/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Not a good picture but I have my doubts. In that pic it looks like the pots are out of position. The cutaway looks a little odd. The tuners are very green. The inlays at the lower end look an odd shape and the centre line seems slightly off. All these things are things I see in bad photos of genuine guitars on occasion and sometimes a second pic shows I'm wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megafrog Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I am with Farns on this. I researched this and can't find a P90 Standard for 2000 and the guitar looks odd. I would avoid it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the serial number issue mentioned. Â Avoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I only looked at the snap for a handful of seconds but even in that short time I saw half-a-dozen things which indicate with 100% certainty it's a fake. Â As others have already said, Avoid. Â Pip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
