AI GIbson Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I am considering this used Gibson L-00 Standard (a few photos below) which is being sold as Mint condition. However, I would appreciate any insight on any "red flags" as relates this being real or a potential fake. The Gibson soundhole sticker has a the L-00 on top of Standard. Most of the photos I have seen of others, seem to have them on the same line next to style. It might be perfectly normal but figured I would seek guidance from the experts prior to trying to make the deal. Thanks for your help!

BluesKing777 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Looks real enough to me... Here is my Gibson Blues King L-00 and my friend's (they previously called the L-00 standard 'Blues King')....they both look a bit different but...similar... Mine is on the right and my friend's is on the left. Mine had bubinga back and sides - his has mahogany... mine: his: BluesKing777.

zombywoof Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I wish I could say the Grovers showed it to be a fake but alas I cannot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
