Help me Identify this Guitar Please!

[Detroit1973]

I hope I attached the pics correctly but I’m trying to identify a Les Paul I saw on line.
Back of the Headstock says Made in the USA 2014 model and the Serial number is 140110882.

 

[Marshall Law]

Well it has a real serial number.

Serial number: 140110882

Production year: 11 January 2014 (product. nr.: 882)
(Manufactured in Nashville or Memphis)

That much I knew. I’m wondering what model it is. The Store is saying it’s a Traditional Pro II but I’ve never seen another like it.

Is the back finish matte? The Trad Pros of that time frame all had that. Other than that, looks like a pile of aftermarket part added. Cool looking guitar.

I don't know much about the Traditional Gibon models from that time frame but that truss rod cover sets off all kinds of red flags to me.

Probably why I said "looks like a pile of aftermarket parts added".

Anyway, the back pic has some shine, but I think that's just from use, as it doesn't look like a clear coat like the Standards.

How am I the only one mentioning possibly fake-as-h*ll?

That’s what I’m Afraid of. I don’t want to spend the Money if it’s not Legit.

I found this old listing for a 2014 trad pro ii that is similar. All the rest of the images I've seen have cream pickguard and pickup rings.

That's Exactly how the Guitar I posted used to look. I've spoken to the original Owner....Finally. he decided to change a bunch of the parts to be black, he was attempting to create a red & black guitar. I've also now, Literally just now, spoke to Gibson & it is in Fact Legit. It was a dealer Special for GC.

I must have been talking to myself? Nothing sketch about that guitar - just a bunch of aftermarket parts...like I said twice.

I like to have ALL information before i make a decision or pull the trigger on Anything. Wasn't ignoring you or your advice, i was simply trying to eliminate the bullshit. I guess i was supposed to take your word for it & just pull the trigger.

Was I wrong?

Looks like beyond my comments, you mostly got exactly that - bullshit. But I get it. I'm no one to you. I don't trust me either.

I was being Sarcastic. Don’t take it personal. My poor attempt at Sarcastic humor.
