qwertypants Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Hi all First time poster from Australia here! Was hoping to get a second opinion on my new Gibson's authenticity in order to sleep easier! I bought her from the Music Zoo used I've done all my checks, I have the certificate, but just having an expert opinion would make me feel so much better! Whilst i'm sure its real, I've heard fakes keep getting better and better... Photos: Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon S. Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 It is indeed the real deal. Congrats, and welcome to the forums!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobouz Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Yes indeed, it is real. I have the same guitar in red, and played a brown one in 2011. They were a Guitar Center exclusive. The fingerboard on mine is ebony, and yours appears to be the same, rather than "dark rosewood" as listed. Congrats, and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyl51 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 The Music Zoo is one of the MOST reputable shops out there. I've done business with them for many years. GOOD guys! I am just curious on what it is about your guitar that got you thinking that it was possibly a fake? I've seen many fakes before and to be frank a kid could tell within 5 seconds that a particular instrument was a major phony.............jim in Maine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thanks for the info on the Music Zoo, never heard of them before, being from Aus, but they shipped this guitar immediately and it arrived in 10 days! I couldn't believe it.
