This IS a fake!

I found this on the local CL today:

One of my friends knows the guy selling this and said he was gonna buy it. He doesn't mind it being a copy because he can't play, its more for decoration.

I actually thought it looked pretty good for a fake. I did notice right away the knob algnment with the tailpiece was wrong but I didn't see much more wrong from the pics. I'm sure I will find more errors when he gets it.

Well............ at least the seller is fairly upfront about it.....not that bootleg guitars are OK, but at least he's not selling it as a gen-u-ine Gibson

Yeah, I even called the seller and talked to him. He said he knew it was a copy when he bought it off of someone who bought it off e-bay. He said it actually sounded pretty good. I told him that didn't matter because my friend was only going to decorate with it anyway. I am curious to check it out when my friend gets it to see how it is.

If he (or ANY of y'all) want affordable display cases, these aluminum sides/back, plush lined, form fitting, plexiglass faced, locking cases with carry handles and a built in wallmount on the back are available from Rondo Music........

 

Les Paul and/or Strat cases, $89.95+ shipping

Dreadnaught Acoustic cases, $ 99.95+ shipping

 

The quality for the price is almost unbelievable !!!!!!!!

 

Heres my 30th Ann. GLP in the one I bought..........

EDIT: The wide line across the neck from the 7th to 9th frets is a reflection, not a blemish in the plexiglass.
