Outlier73 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I've posted in another thread that I'm new to Les Pauls but looking to buy my first. I'm hoping some of you experts can give me some feedback on this one. http://img408.imageshack.us/i/070320101296.jpg/ It looks legit to me, but pickups have been replaced and there is no case. I've read a few posts talking about fakes but I don't know how to spot a fake LP. The lack of case is the only thing that has be concerned. It's only 2-3 years old, how can you lose the case in that time? Anyway, I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnastynebr Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Duncan Pups and non-original Grover tuners. Truss rod cover is also not original. Snot green inlays on a double cut? never seen that before, but everything else looks legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Looks legit. Those cracks along the top seam in the cuts are a red flag for repair trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlier73 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Thanks all. The seller said the truss rod cover is supposed to say Standard but he replaced with a custom and doesn't have the original. The pickups are also not original and he installed a push pull pot. But he didn't mention anything about the tuners. I though it I could pick up cheap I would go for it , but since it's starting to get bids, I think I'll hold off at least until I actually sell my Fender. Thanks for your help all!
