Another Fake on eBay? If so, it's quite close.

At risk of helping future counterfeiters, here are the main issues...

 

1) Wrong bridge posts. Gibson don't have slots to adjust your bridge height.

2) Neck binding is under the fret ends.

3) Pickup ring mounting screws are too close to the corners, pickup height adjustment screws are too close to the pickups.

4) Volume and tone controls are positioned incorrectly.

5) "Made in USA" stamp is too high.

 

It's fake.

sent an inq. about a fret board pic up close.

 

the cut out binding is fine. It should widen to cover the full top. VOS and reissues will keep uniform binding.

 

Will see what fret binding is like IF I get a pic.

 

Flame On !!

Fake... I thought so!

I also think that the openbook curve line on the top of the

headstcok is a bit too shallow... it needs to be more prominent.

Looking at the body, the entire contour is not looking right.

 

I think this one was the "best" fake I have ever seen on eBay...

;(
