Besides the price? I called the seller out and he blocked me.

First thing I noticed was that dry as hell fingerboard that looks more like rosewood than ebony or richlte, those fret nibs also look like someone just let some Elmer’s glue dry on the ends of the frets. I’m not enough of an LP historian to pick up on anything else aside from the overall fit/finish looking like shit just from the pictures.

Knobs. Look like what Edwards uses. Metric.
Bridge. Obvious metric with the notched studs, and larger holes, (like an Epiphone).
Overly white binding.
No Custom Shop badge.
Gigbag? Please.. what a dickhead piece of shit for even trying..

I hate it when my Uncle sells my guitar cases without the guitar...So frustrating. At least I now know I'm not the only one.

The serial number stamp is a telltale sign. They usually stamp chibsons way deeper than USA does ‘em. Usually with cs guitars they are ink stamped as well. Shocked to see a bullet truss rod nut though.
Other signs are the binding quality, metric slotted bridge, pickup switch, cheap, extremely oversized nut, and no nibs.
Im sure if you popped the control cavity covers, you’d see cheap 250k mini pots, and a very roughly routed cavity as well.

if the jerkoff listed it for $3000 would you have questioned it?
i just looked fast but the nibs are not done
stamping in the back seems odd and to crisp
probably 12 other things i dont have time to look for

No nibs. Gibson LPs have nibs unless they have been refretted.

The big bridge posts is something that 99% (but not all) of the fakes get wrong

I new it was a fake from the start and noticed the majority of things mentioned here. I did pick up a few more though. I guess this guy has been doing this for a while and has ripped off a bunch of people.
