  1. Please help as I am smitten with a listing that I fear is too good to be true. I am a relative novice at spotting the real thing and don't want to be fooled. Any help is appreciated. My thoughts: The body: the placement of the pickup selector and the "varitone" don't match other comparable models i've found. I don't think i've ever seen an es-335 where the input jack is off the face of the body, but again, novice at spotting the real thing. Also wiring is visible in the f-hole; is that typical of Gibson quality? Headstock: The "flower" inlay looks wrong. the cutouts aren't as prominent. Serial: The headstock looks legit to me, although the "USA" seems further away from "MADE IN" than I've seen on other models. Serial number checks out. No certificate with the listing: I've asked for it so maybe the seller has it, but the fact that they didn't include it in the listing makes me think it doesn't exist. Thanks in advance!
