corn_bread Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) Looking for a second set of eyes on this les Paul supreme. Thanks guys for all the help. nibs are over the fret ends. tone pot has part number 440-71079 cant see volume pots too far in. and truss rod is a nut and the gibson tool fits it snugly. pickups say gibson usa. weighs in at 10lbs even. pickup cavity has HS written in it. top and back are beautiful and it plays fantastic. everything i know to look for seems right but always need a second set of eyes.

kidblast Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) Not an expert on calling out counterfeits, but know enough to be dangerous.. That said, if its fake (and to me it seems not) it's one of the best ones I think I've seen. Edited August 20, 2020 by kidblast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 You'd better send it to me for a closer inspection. Let's use FedEx or UPS, okay? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corn_bread Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Lol. Took it to our high end guitar shop and it’s the real deal. They check it all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Yes, I would say it's a real one. Looks beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 The case looks more comfortable inside than my bed! Lucky guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Thats a fine looking guitar. Liking the gold hardware. Congrats 👌 Supremes I've seen before had mini humbuckers. I've just done another search and found some that are semi-hollow. Is there a defining feature to a Supreme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a defining feature to a Supreme? supremes have the carved top and back with no control cavity. Very ornate with fancy tops and backs and gold hardware. The headstock and fretboard inlays are also different 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
