rockstar232007 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I checked it out, and either this guy is a certified fraud, or he can't tell his a** from a hole in the ground! It's ok though, because we know it's a fake, and knowing is half the battle! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichCI Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm pretty sure "The Paul" came with a painted headstock and that's what that guitar looks like; the bridge doesn't look original though but I could be wrong about that. You're right about the Firebrand - it had Gibson stamped into the headstock. I used to be in a band with a guy who had a Firebrand SG back in the early 80's.
