Lace Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Anyone seen one of these before? That Black rear side is totally weird. http://up53.siz.co.il/up3/yw0mygujmxnd.jpg http://up54.siz.co.il/up2/teg05mnmey5y.jpg http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/attachments/epiphone-les-pauls/5057d1226774057-body-my-les-paul-lp-1.jpg http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/members/fenderl-albums-epiphone-les-paul-plus-picture8747-3.jpg The body finish is also pretty weird? what is it? Trans gold? usually it has a much much lighter back, like wine red or brown. +dont you think the Epiphone logo on the headstock is completly wrong? The "h" is nowhere near the center. could it be a fake? btw, I would say it's fake only by the logo's placement... The "h" is not even close to the middle. here's and original headstock: http://www.gibson.com/Files/productImages/epiphone/_guitars/thumbs_and_details/les%20paul/Les%20Paul%20Standard%20Plus-top/headstock.jpg http://www.gibson.com/Files/productImages/epiphone/_guitars/thumbs_and_details/les%20paul/Les%20Paul%20Standard%20Plain-top/headstock.jpg http://www.elderly.com/vintage/items/images/30U/30U-13652_headstock-front.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 That would be Trans Amber. The dark back is pretty weird but then again Epiphone has done some pretty weird things over the years. Not enough to trigger my fakedar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexygibson Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Yep, I was thinking trans-amber also but agree the ebony back seems a bit odd. i would have thought this would have been a brown type finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Well, maybe it's just a very dark brown and the photograph is making it even darker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RotcanX Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Looks OK to me. Different, but everything I can see checks out. The serial seems legit too. I'd say it's not a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
