Sgt. Pepper

Yours looks legit.

It’s a fake. Of that I am sure. It’s not stamped in like a Gibson and I’ve never seen a Lucille with snot green Lucille MOP.

This back of the headstock with the serial number is the total wrong font and it’s easy to tell. The p/g is so bad it hurts my eyes.

I think it was in this thread we were talking about a fake Lucille. If you go to the ES section, look and there’s a post called Authentic. And no it’s not real, and yes it is a fake Lucille, so there are people making them.

No no and once again no.

I’ve said that. We all have.

Nah it’s actually the Sun 8 minutes prior. Takes that long for the Suns rays to reach us.

I was sucking a teet. I do have 2 kids that are drinking age.

Nice. I was at the outlet mall yesterday buying my wife some new Crocs and there was a booth selling those.

It has ever since Etsy purchased it.

Oct ‘66 I was hatched.

Here in SC we are just gonna be able to see a sliver of it.

I got fingers and toes that are 57.

9:40 Eastern Time it’s on. The Lady Gamec-ocks of SC beat The Lady Hawkeyes of Iowa yesterday. That phenom from Iowa never won a National Championship.

Ya know who wouldn’t want that . . .

Did you see I was 16 and not 57? Huge difference.

As a 16 year old kid GC in San Jose on Bascom Ave saw me coming.

Mine was ebony too. Cause it was made before . . . well you know why they went to Richlite.

Aftermarket stuff won’t work or do you have to have OEM stuff?

Gibson’s prices on their website are the exact same advertised prices in the music stores in the US. Years ago what was on their site and stores prices were way off. MSPR is what they suggest it should be sold for and a lot more than what the store pays Gibson for one. Remember both have to make a profit. Once the guitar leaves the factory and goes to any store it’s now the stores and they can charge whatever they want for it. It’s not Gibson’s guitar anymore. The store isn’t just selling it for the exact same price they paid Gibson. If so, they would just be moving guitars for Gibson for free and that ain’t happening especially scumbag Guitar Center.

1000 bucks in ‘87 seems high to me. It’s 2024 and SG Specials are now 1600. That’s a price increase of only 600 bucks over the course of 37 years. Or a price increase of 16 bucks a year. Gibson seems to increase their price on stuff by a few hundred bucks ever year now. Hell all makers do. Glad you included the verbage Made In The USA. Haven’t they always, Gibson’s that is?

Why are Les Paul’s faked? Here is the answer $$$$$$$$. Nothing more nothing less. If it costs a faker $100 to make and they profited by $200. For them it’s a win all day long.

Canada is too polite a country to exploit its work force. You guys/girls are excluded.

That will cost China $300 to make. If anyone can do it they can. It’ll fall apart after a month but it’ll be cheap.

Is it one of those acoustic sound hole cap things?
