btoth76 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Also the headstock close-ups show a real Gibson. You can check it by the serial number too. Send it to the Customer Support and they will provide the specs, which You can compare with the ones told by seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emcee Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Okay. I sent them an email with the serial number. From what I can tell, it is looking more and more legitimate. The seller has been more than willing to provide the pictures I ask for and has been honest with the few scrapes/dings on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
