max2343 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Really not sure. They say it's a 70's and it's selling for 1559.00. Never seen one like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max2343 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 No way this is got to be a Fake. Isn't the Binding way too thick and the strap buttons different and the hardware just too new looking and what about the screwed on gold plate with a serial # on it and the words The Les Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeg Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 from the side view, the wood doesn't look like mahogany. although it's hard to tell. also the back neck area doesn't look like my 79 custom. I'll have to guess, it's a real good fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 100% Fake. The bridge posts alone are proof enough, but there are many other things too. I'll have to guess' date=' it's a real good fake.[/quote'] Sorry but no. It really isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max2343 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 A John Sutherland From Gison USA Custmer Service was given all these photo's and has Determined the Following. From the photo's sent it does appear to be Genuine. Photo's of the truss rod cavity would further help in determining it's Authenticity. So what's up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LPC Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Looks like a very bad copy of the 1976 - '79 commemorative "The Les Paul" model which had a plaque attached to the back of the headstock. http://www.lespaulforum.com/slub6/article.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max2343 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 According to the Dealer thats selling this one. It was owned by a Gibson Employee and this Guitar was sawed in Half right by the middle pickup. See photo below. The Gibson Employee then took the Guitar from the Gibson Factory and re-Glued it back together. According to Gibson's Custmer Service they do saw them in half if its a Defect. But looking at this photo of the side and the neck joint. I have yet to see the body right by the neck joint extend out about an Inch and Binding soo thick. Anyone Agree with me and or care to show me photos of their 70's Custom of this view to compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
