ChrisTodd Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I have seen a "custom LP" for sale with the serial MS 0808 I'm guessing nthis is a fake? If not would be interested as it's a good price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisTodd Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 It's a black beauty style done of the elements look correct but then the bridge and other items don't. Can find any info on serial numbers starting with MS so thought it may be suspect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Chris, Try right-clicking on each of the photos that you see on the eBay or Craigslist advert, and select, "Copy Image Address". Then come back here to post, and right-click again, selecting, "Paste" for each image address. The images will display, sir.🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 The 'MS' prefix is worrisome, for sure. I have never heard of such a thing. Nor has Gibson, apparently. https://www.gibson.com/Support/Serial-Number-Search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will take some investigation. I would start by calling or writing Gibson and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
