rocketman Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 It's fake for sure. Just look at the headstock (there are a number of things wrong with it)....
Slogold Posted April 24, 2009 Author Posted April 24, 2009 1. Logo looks funky. 2.Made in USA on the headstock (don't have this on mine).
Tim Plains Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 I'm gonna go with.....................................real.
MikeRom Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Custom shop guitar with made in the USA stamped on the headstock?
Tim Plains Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 ^ Who ever said it was a Custom Shop guitar? LP Customs were not made by the Custom Shop before 2004 (or 2003). The only thing that looks off to me is the pickup selector switch. Otherwise, the headstock looks OK & the fretboard looks really dark, like ebony.
rocketman Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 The diamond on the headstock looks off to me. Shouldn't the center part be thicker?
Phoenix Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 hm.. yeah that's fake. Just step back and look at the overall body shape, it's ****ed
Tim Plains Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 The diamond on the headstock looks off to me. Shouldn't the center part be thicker? No' date=' I'd say the diamond looks to be the right size. Here's mine for comparison. [img']http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg225/Gibson_Tim/Silverburst007-1.jpg[/img]
Phoenix Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Nine, what's the finish color of your LP C that's shown?
Phoenix Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 That's beautiful. Do you know what year if I may ask?
rocketman Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Well take a look at this. It's not a cherry red, but it may prove that the one here is real...
Silverbursted Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Well take a look at this. It's not a cherry red' date=' but it may prove that the one here is real... [/quote']I don't follow your point.
rocketman Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 I don't follow your point. Well now I'm having doubts that it's fake. The headstocks look about the same and Are Nine explained the whole custom issue.
Slogold Posted April 25, 2009 Author Posted April 25, 2009 More Pix from seller.. I ask for a full front shot of headstock but didn't get any. Hmmmm. Let me know the final verdict.
Thundergod Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 FAKE. Fake bridge. Fake neck binding. More stuff but the above mentioned is decisive and undebatable.
