There are two on Reverb now that look pretty much the same. They are listed as 40th Anniversary models. One is $1,650. The other $2,000. Not that they are selling for that, the $2,000 guitar has been listed for a year……… $600 could be a flag.

Gibson The Paul's were student guitars and really cheap. I had one. Gibson a few years back reissued them, why, not sure. If it is a 2019 then it is a reissue. Looks good except that one pic with the split diamonds on the headstock is a totally different guitar.

Putting a shot of the “custom” headstock in the middle of the others to me would mean, “run away, runaway fast.”  Oh, and the words “this is not a copy” Right up there with “No, Ma’am, I’m not a land-shark.”

the bridge assembly isn't right.  It COULD have been replaced, but that's definitely not stock.
