bisco Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Hi everybody, i need help! I'm talking with a guitar seller and he wants to sell me a GIBSON LES PAUL TRIBUTE 50 GOLDTOP P-90 (Year 2013) . This guy show me the Gibson certificate with serial ecc... I need to see the model throught the Model N°( LPTR5G5CHI ). If you can find information about this Model N it would be awesome! I got serial number too ( 134220359 ). I need to know if model n and serial number match with this guitar. Here there is a Google Drive links with all photos of this guitar : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1u2NUdsXAPLT9CG3sTqc6M0G_rp3XUuHC Let me know if it's authentic or not, i dont really wanna waste my money ! P.S: I found that the guitar was built in : 07-dec-2012 (serial: 0359) (Manufactured in Nashville), but on the back of the guitar it says "Made in USA 2013". It's normal ? Thanks to everyone who will help me! Edited August 22, 2019 by bisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Everything looks legit to me and looks pretty nice. I think he's being open and honest by showing the scuffs and wears. How much is he asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's normal ? yes nothing unusual about that. Not much to know about it.. it's a tribute gold top with P90s. These are .bought new all day long for just north of $1k. So far it does look legit, at least some of the obvious red flags don't show up here. If you can get a picture of what is under the truss rod cover, (want to see what the adjustment end of that truss rod looks like) that would probably end any and all doubt. But from what is there, - looks good to go. Edited August 22, 2019 by kidblast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
