Funny, I saw this posted in a Facebook group earlier and commented about the fugazi truss rod cover. First thing I noticed, along with the nut, and this "off" shape of the body, and the toggle switch and ring, etc... The post has been removed since, apparently.

I wish I remembered the name of the account that posted it.

Hey give him slack he's a drummer so that's his excuse for selling a counterfeit guitar.

Love how he tries to cover himself with the bullshit "I know nothing about guitars".

I'll offer him a straight trade for a Tambourine.

The headstock seems stretched and narrow, too. Don't customs typically have block inlays?

My thought exactly. What a bunch of shit.


That headstock just doesn't look right and the edge of the "G" in the Gibson logo should line up parallel with the tuning posts.

The body pics are too far away for me to see some of the other giveaways, but the overall shape looks a little off.

Its a custom shop Gibson - he may have ordered it like that.

Okay, sarcasm over. It's so bad. My favourite is the positioning of the tailpiece.
