Pink_Floyd Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 After reading the horror stories about fakes etc I thought I would post a link to this before I bid etc. I hope this is OK? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Gibson-Les-Paul-Custom-Shop-New-November-2008-BARGAIN_W0QQitemZ170302764016QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item170302764016&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1688%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1307 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink_Floyd Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Thanks man. I was gonna save for a new '08 standard in desert burst, but I may look for a bargain 2nd hand also. Just don't fancy buying a wrong 'un. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 The pic at the bottom where the guitar looks blue is making me think it might be a fake. Real Gibson finishes don't change colors even under colored stage lights (although, I don't know of too many people who put up stage lights up above the sofa in their living rooms).

pippy Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Real. You are in the UK so I'd suggest you budget for the trip to Preston and pick it up in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaHooomie Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I love that finish! Wish I had enough money to buy another LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobv Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 How many varieties of "Custom" decals are there now? It's gonna confuse the heck out of us in a few years - we'll probably be saying "you can't judge the year or authenticity by the decals - nobody ever figured out which ones they used when..." Wait, scratch that. Yeshida probably knows already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBENDS Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 i can't believe he's selling the Gibson Custom because he bought the fendr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
