I've been looking on Ebay at the Les Pauls. I've come accross this one and wonder if it's right.

Rosewood fretboard?

[AXE®]

Metric Bridge.

No Nibs.

 

Too cheap.

[LarryUK]

Nibs? Would the machine heads be Grover? I thought they would be Klusons?

[93DMTX]

Too cheap.

 

Overpriced tho for what it is. 13 poor sots have bid it up to ~$470 USD.

 

Flagged it.

Original Grovers on my '93.

Do I see rosewood?

[deepblue]

The horn looks too short as well.

[Laaz]

100% fake

What are nibs?

What are nibs?

 

The binding over the fret ends.

Not a chance in hell.

Fake, of course.

 

As there are less than 5 hours to go and it's not quite reached the £2,500 that the seller mentions in the ad (only another £2,200 to go...) I think most people have spotted some of the discrepancies...

[Flight959]

What a POS!!! That one is laughable!!!

[KL]

There are 22 bids on it so far, I think someone is going to be disappointed.

[93DMTX]

Sickening, over $850 now. More than double what it cost new and infinitely more than it's worth.

 

 

Gaaaaaaaa...finished at 795GBP (~$1143)...wanted to scream at the computer

Stay away from that one. Not quite sure they every made a black beauty with a rosewood fretboard (all ebony boards) the serial number does not even look right. If you call gibson and give them the serial number they can verify the guitar.

why is the top of the TRC touching the diamond?, also the top of the headstock looks like the crack on somebody's ***, unlike the ones on REAL gibsons.
