Flight' date=' the pictures you posted are of a real Gibson Les Paul Custom.

The serial number turnpkegates posted is 02005560. Meaning, it's a 2005 model.

Any regular Custom made in 2005 would have a CS____ serial number.[/quote']

 

Hmmm.... have the seller send you the back of the headstock, and also have him send his address and contact information and clarify in every way possible that the info is current. If he doesnt send you the info (or if the info doesnt match up) then it is more then likely a fake.

Tim,

Those pics are from the actual ebay auction the guy won... He PM'd me...

 

Hence my coment about the guitar not being the actual guitar he would get..
