geyser Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 hmmm, in this case I'm not sure this is a fake... actually I think this guitar is authentic ... and nice too ... what I meant is this guy was selling a R6 calling it a R9 (so, if 6 was 9...) now it seems somebody told him and here you find his *correct* auction: http://cgi.ebay.it/Gibson-Les-Paul-1956-Goldtop-Re-Issue_W0QQitemZ220303465233QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item220303465233&_trkparms=39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A10|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 pretty weird, anyway ... at least for LesPaul maniacs like us, isn't it?

the_HEWC Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I found two things that makes me question the authenticity of that R6, The distance between the pickguard and the pups seem quite big, and on the headstock.. Isn't the logo supposed to be in pearl? what do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stymye Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 in the bridge closeup there is orange peel in the paint finish, regardless of any quality issues..... In all my years I've never seen that in a gibson paint job/finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Paul Fanatic Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Damn I don't know what to say, IF that is a fake, that's the best damn one I've ever seen. I'm just not sure of what to think on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Paul Fanatic Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Rosewood fingerboard gave it away, plus acrylic inlays, Generally Ebony fingerboard, and Mother Of Pearl inlays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 The dot on top of the "i" letter of the Gibson logo looks like it is made of a completely different material... (maybe the same plasstic that the inlays were made of... while the rest of the logo is just plain paint... or viceversa). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
