wolverine Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 New to the forum !! looking forward to being here !! So I just need to have the Experts opinion here ,, with all the talk of fakes seemingly all over the web ,, I have come across this incredibly gorgeous Ebony Standard !! Build date is 2008 it is a 2002 spec Les Paul Standard with the 60's neck,, what has lead me to this post is the positioning of the " Les Paul Model " decal ,, seems awful close to the TRC ,, now I realize that this is probably not an issue as everything else seems to lead to being the genuine article ,, " Gibson " engraved pots ,, no black in cavity ,, barely legible serial number ,, plays absolutely amazing ,, sounds incredible ,, case is perfect as to spec ,, like I said its probably just paranoia but id like to be sure ,, this is my venture back into playing Les Paul's again after giving up 20 years ago and going to PRS ,, so this is a homecoming of sorts after playing for 30 years and finally finding a Les Paul that Im sure I can fall in love with !! Anyways ,, thanks for your help !! Cheers to all ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laaz Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Looks good & the Les Paul decal position can vary quite a bit. It's the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 It's real. Just so you know, the "2002 spec" part is half true. That guitar is chambered. The 2002s were weight-relieved. Read this if you don't know what these terms mean. http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/gibson-les-pauls/50210-gibson-les-paul-101-a.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolverine Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Thanks Guys !! Really appreciate it !! I am aware of the Chambering and Im becoming a big fan ,, nice to handle weight wise ,, very comfortable ,, having a blast getting to know Les Pauls again ,, had a look at a spectacular traditional ( ebony ) but being that it weighed in @ 10 lbs and having a sh**y back just wasnt for me !! Thanks again !! Cheers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
