Hi, very new to Gibson I'd like to buy a used LP junior Yellow TV.

How can I spot a fake instrument ?

What do you think about those pics ? Do they seem good to you  ?

Thanks

1) Highlight/copy your text -  LP junior Yellow TV

2) Right-click and Search Google for "LP junior Yellow TV"

3) https://www.google.com/search?q=LP+junior+Yellow+TV&client=firefox-b-d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi9-ajF1vznAhUXQkEAHWCcCQEQ_AUoAnoECAwQBA&biw=1920&bih=1086

Click on above link or select Images in Google search result

4) Compare every headstock on every pic of every Gibson with your pic of headstock  - some (the more recent ones) are similar.

"How can I spot a fake instrument ?   What do you think about those pics ?"

2 pics of the back of a headstock .  No pics of front of headstock or rest of guitar;  sorry, not enough to go on.

I think that's genuine.   I am not the forum expert on these however.

This century, between 2000-2015 I would say.  The serial number will date it accurately.

Best wishes!

pop off the truss rod cover, if it's a hex style bolt with a socket wrench needed to adjust, you're good  if it's an Allen Wrench fitting, you're not.

 

Sounds like an expert tip. Thank you.

OK but it's good to have others opinions. Thank you
