Hmm.

fake factors:

1. Headstock out of shape (logo also out of place)
2. cutaway horn is too long
3. pickup toggle switch out of place
4. It says les paul custom.. yet the inlays are 'crown' ones instead of blocks
5. Volume/tone knobs are of weird, pale colour instead of the usual golden-yellow colours usually associated with a Gibson of this colour (could be picture problem?)

just my 2 cents.

I think the biggest giveaway is the headstock shape...and the strangely long and angled horn...

 

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

^ LOL it looks like a modified epiphone sheraton headstock without all the fancy inlays.

 

[gsonique]

it looks spastic :lol:

with Burny/ Tokai aplenty these days, we shouldn't give this atrotious guitar a consideration...

 

[detroit_red]

Biggest giveaway is the gold painted tuners ... Look so funny ... Like last time got that gold marker like they use that to color the thing ...

 

[Ichiro]

the cutaway looks crazliy out of shape

 

[shreddedsweeper]

yeah the cutaway is really ugly

 

[turtlemuscle]

this one is really out if you have seen enough of Gibson.

there are some fake that looks much better and is common in eBay these days. so be careful!
