Chinese Copy? Not an expert but I do know that Les Pauls have two screws on the truss rod cover not 3. I see no inlay on the headstock and something's amiss with "gibson"

The gibson logo isnt centered correctly its to the right and slanted up too much. The pointy tips at the top are too far apart.

theres also something amiss with the nut, it also is slanted in comparison to the 1st fret. Also the 1st fret has been replaced if its an original, gibson paint the binding over the fret ends.

Hello 01GT eibach,

That thing is pure trash, run from it, at any price.

Frankly you are in the wrong Forum, theres Gibson &
Les Paul forums that deal with this in depth.

Cheers.

Believe me, I was never in the market for this guitar ... I only showed this here to give everyone a good laugh. Even those who know nothing about Les Pauls will laugh at the placement of the Gibson logo.
:lol:

Diddo on the truss rod cover. Gibson just ran an article about the counterfeit chinese guitars and then a "is it a real or fake" thing. in it they mentioned the truss rod cover only has 2 screws instead of 3 which this one has.
