Guest FarnsBarns Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Looks like it could be a repair. Where did you buy it, was it new? I hope it isn't a Chinese fake! Probably just a repair. Can you post some more pictures. Close ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight959 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 That piece of binding has clearly been replaced... Why is the paint missing at the end of the fretboard?? (between fretboard and pickup?? Post some more pictures.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Where did you buy it, was it new? I hope it isn't a Chinese fake! Probably just a repair. Can you post some more pictures. Close ups. I bought it from someone. And he bought it at a pawn shop in America. Sound is just great. I've seen on the Internet Chinese fakes. IMHO I do not think that it is China. Why is the paint missing at the end of the fretboard?? (between fretboard and pickup?? I do not know. But. Here at the fourth photo also no paint. http://www.myguitarguide.com/fake-gibson-guitars/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FarnsBarns Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Looks as if it might have had a neck re-set at some point. If that's the case it's probably related to the repaired binding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight959 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Whats going on with those pickup cavities? They shouldnt have paint in them and the wiring looks suspect to say the least!. Can you take the off the plate where the Pots are and post a picture? Did you interfere with the serial number in that picture?? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flight959 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Like you said I don't think the quality of the photograph helped. I'd say the binding has been repaired for some reason or another... Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
