Hey, My name is nathan and im getting a gibson les paul goldtop not a epiphone. my friend thinks its a chinese model since its on ebay for 300 bucks. Is It a fake?

[Malchik]

Maybe, probably. You need to post a link. Gibson makes a butt-load of version, so it's hard to judge.

It's real but it's in an auction and I guarantee it will cost more than $300 by the end of the auction.

are you IMISSSTEVIERAYVAUGHAN on the Fender forum??

 

if you DO find a Gibson LP for $300 that plays, then yeah, it's fake.

even GLPs with broken necks sell for more than that.........

[NoFrills]

I see the Goldtop has already gone over double the amount as expected.

But yeah it does look legit although personally it is missing a few key details, but you can always ask the seller to either post the pics you wish to see.

 

e.g back of the headstock, the cert of authenticty, the guitar case itself.

With the amont of imitation Gibson Les Pauls about, one needs to be wary buying without knowledge and inspecting the instrument in person.

Hi Nathan! These guitars can still be purchased at Guitar center or most on line retailers for about the price it's going for on EBay. You can order and make for or 5 monthly payments to make it affordable- great guitar! Keep on playing!!

This was my first thought after reading the title, before I even opened the thread. I suppose we could be wrong, maybe I'm getting too cynical.

Good luck on getting an LP Nathan. I'm waiting for my first to get dilivered next week.

Call E.M. Shorts...they're selling them New, for less than that auction

is now priced.

 

1-800-835-3006! They'll answer "Wichta Band," but just ask for E.M. Shorts,

it's the Guitar store, there. Ask for Lance! (M-F 10:00-6:00) (Sat: 10:00-2:00)

Thanks people, and my aunt just spent the gibson money on a car :( so not getting a LP for Christmas. How sad is That?

[RUSHian]

Well, Wheels are important too, You can get the Les Paul any time.

[FenderGuy1]

BUT i will be getting a wah wah and a surprise present i dont know what it is

[bonzoboy]

Rather than being materialistic and pouting over not getting the guitar you should be glad for your aunt and the fact that she's financially independent enough to buy her own car.This is the time of year for giving,think about what you can give to an aunt who thinks enough you to even consider buying you a Les Paul.Be thankful for the wah wah-it's an awful lot more than many young folks will be getting.Go out now and buy something nice for the aunt who obviously thinks a lot about you.

[mKwatra427]

Yeah, I know Im late with this, its already gone for auction, but it looks real to me. These guys are always giving some discount or other.

[rocketman]

Winning bid went at $750. Still a very good deal...
