slavestate Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I just ran across this: What can this be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 This is not a guitar that left the factory....notice all the fixed hack marks all over the body. It looks like the body had to be altered because the neck is mounted in the 'wrong' place. It MIGHT actually be a genuine vintage Gibson neck, but it has been hack as well....so it wouldn't be worth anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 It's fake. The headstock has no ears. The body is home made and not even a shape I have ever seen Gibson build. Cool looking guitar though. I might give $200 for it if it comes with the case which is real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Its a fake but i don't think its Chinese made like the "new" fakes of today. Very interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Searcy Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I think those pups are Dimarzio? Hell, i want it. Yep, they look like old Dimarzio "PAF"s. I'd love to see how it's wired with those outputs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duane v Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 The case is worth more than the guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaleb Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 It looks like something from a young up-and-coming luthier from the late 70s. Reminds me of Hagstrom and early BC Rich. It's as if there was a teenage KISS, Zeppelin, or Thin Lizzy fan who couldn't afford a real LP, and Epis weren't around yet, and the lawsuit guitars were starting to fade away from our neck of the woods. (y'know, after Ibanez got the big no-no from Norlin Inc....). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I knew I'd seen that distinctive angled stop-tail 'back-in-the-day'. It, the bridge and possibly other bits of hardware are from a mid-'70s Guild such as this one; The p-ups on the guit in the ad are one DiMarzio 'PAF' and one 'Super Distortion' so it's almost certain this is the donor instrument. The neck on the OP instrument might be from a real Gibson but that's about it. Looks pretty well made and the parts are worth a certain amount on their own. It might even play and sound very good! P.

SlashPerryBurst Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Nice spot on the stopbar pippy. I like the fact that the seller "believes" it may be a 1957 les paul. I wonder what on earth brought him to that conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
