Paradoxx54 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Found an advertisement for a LP that seemed too good to be true. There are a few photos attached. The advertisement says it's a 1992 Les Paul Standard and the serial number checks out. Unfortunately, I am only starting to get into the world of LPs and Gibsons so I am having a hard time identifying whether or not this thing is legit. The biggest thing that threw me off is the decal on the headstock seems a bit off and doesn't match with other 92 standards. As you can see, the font color is brownish instead of being white/mother or pearl and the dot for the "i" is attached the G. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

rct Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 That is not a Standard at all. If someone is willing to try to pass that off as a Standard I would advise you to not buy anything from that person. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHenry Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 The Truss rod cover looks out of alignment to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 The silk-screened logo, and the absence of the fretboard binding does not align with Standard specs. Bence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eracer_Team Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Ask them to remove the truss rod cover and take a picture of the truss rod nut. I should be a nut not allen key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telebrent99 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 My Les Paul DC Tribute has that same studio lettering. Mine is the cheapest model you can get. And everyone is right. Things just do not fit right. Walk away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
