BLG Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I got this shot of the serial number on a Gibson Les Paul Custom Pro 2017 I'm thinking of buying but it doesn't fit the supposed format. The CS shouldn't have any space after it and also there's no Made in USA. Can anyone tell me if this is real?

Twang Gang Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 The description says uncovered Burstbuckers, and an ABR-1, but it whatever pickups those may be they are certainly covered, and that is not an ABR-1 bridge so?? I am not saying it's a fake, but why the wrong information, seems a little sketchy to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the pics looked off. But if you had him open the control cavity and it has Gibson pots and under the TRC it looked good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I can only say that what I was interested in seeing if I was checking, was good. I don't wanna say that here cuz we don't wanna help these jokers make better fakes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can see it so can any one in the net. Edited July 16, 2020 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) where this wasn't a new one, a 2017 ... I assume it would have had the "usual suspects".. at least I'd think anyway. Edited July 16, 2020 by kidblast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
