Poi_si_vede Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hello! I am about to pull the trigger on this LP trad, supposedly made in 2016, but wanted to ask if it is legit first since apparently the sn is pressed only on one side: what do you think? Thanks!

It is perfectly normal. The serial is stamped into the bare wood, before grain-filler and the nitrocellulose is applied. So you are good to go.

Thank you for your reply, very appreciated! would it be a problem if I ask you if the below one is legit as well? The owner says it has the documents (even though the serial is not in the headstock). SN should be 132000534 https://reverb.com/item/34131249-guitarra-electrica-gibson-les-paul-studio-alpine-white-segunda-mano Thanks a lot!

Smokinshark Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 If you really had to know, the fretboards have an electronic tag embedded so a Gibson factory could scan it and check if its genuine or not. I have a 2015 LP studio in Manhattan Blue and the serial number is really hard to make out with the dark color and lacquer filling in the stamp.
