jerrylo913 Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 just bought this off ebay for 2800. the seller had excellent feedbacks. heres what came with it. i was going to email gibson instead but they had a size limit on pictures. any help would be appreciated. it also came with a custom care kit not pictured.
scozz Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 From the pics you've provided I'don't see anything that would lead me to believe it is not real.
Gibson CS Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 the cut away looks like the cutaway that i have kinda wider, but looks good
jerrylo913 Posted August 7, 2008 Author Posted August 7, 2008 geez that was quick responses........thanks yah i checked the wiring its all clean like a gibson should be. the only thing i havent checked is the captivity inside the pickups and the truss rod but most likely their all legit.
Gibson CS Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 the diamond looks right, the headstock, SN, and bridge looks good.......... the guy has good feedback..................... you got yourself a hellofa good looking, and authentic gibson how does she play/sound?
stunr55 Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Considering you have the certificate with the matching serial # on it, there's not much doubt it's authentic, the Chinese don't include certificates of fake-isity with their fakes. Why did you buy it first and then question it's authenticity?
Thundergod Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Looks good to me... Could you post some more pics of that gibson?

Why did you buy it first and then question it's authenticity? :D [/quote'] well the seller i bought from (ebay) had excellent feedbacks and sold numerous gibsons/fenders on there :D plus i i saved at least 500 bucks :D

deepblue Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 You have great taste in Customs....shes a beauty! *tip* Try and cover the serial number in future pic posts.
cudamax2343 Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 LOOKS REAL GOOD AND I'D CALL GIBSON AND SEE WHAT THEY TELL-YA ABOUT THE MODEL WITH THAT SERIAL NUMBER
bobv Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Interesting you got a COA but apparently not a warranty card? How are these ebay sellers getting new guitars to sell at good prices if they're not authorized dealers? Is it like jewelry stores who let watches go out the back door without the warranty, and other people sell them at a discount, in order for the dealer to be able to afford the number of pieces that the manufacturer requires them to buy?
jnstrom Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Its a gibson alright! Probably got it though a wholesaler. Wholesalers are not authorized to give out warranties (sp?)
UnGauGeD Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Looks very legit... And from what I've seen, the china made ones or "fakes" have rather poor workmanship especially on the headstock.... And the truss rod are usually screwed up!
