Gibson Artist Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I was checking out a les paul on craigslist but had trouble with the guitarprojects Gibson serial checker. What doesnt make sense is the guy is selling a beautiful les paul that only looks like 4 years old and he claims is only a few years old yet the serial number says 1960 and so does a pickguard found on the git?? Is this a counterfeit and the seller is either a crook or does not know he was duped? http://providence.craigslist.org/msg/3941944102.html If anyone can read the ad and help me figure this out id appreciate.

EA...this looks ok. The black pickguard, which looks to be a guard for possibly a Studio model, could have been the previous owner's "mod" for his/her personal preference. If you need a more accurate date, on the serial number, contact Gibson's customer service. They can, and will, help you determine it's authenticity.

LarryUK Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 This is genuine. The pickguard is a replacement. The '1960' on the cream original is the model type. I'd go in and offer $1400. Grab a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
