Gravity Music puts alot of stuff on Ebay. I don't think its fake but it certainly isn't all original either.

I really can't see a true Les Paul no matter how much it's modded for such a low price.Since I'm not a Gibson aficionado I can't make any sure judgement as to it's authenticity but the Logo seems like it's too high up on the peg head but then again I'm not a Gibson guy.Still that's a good price for a fixer upper and it has at least one good pup.

Probably a cherry S/B finish originally since it has the maple top.

It could be a less-expensive alternative for someone looking for a LP platform -- it's definitely been "around the block" a time or two though.

It's almost certainly real. the headstock shot tells it all - it has wings - so far nobody has gone to the trouble of making a fake with a three piece headstock like a real gibby.

They do say the finish has been stripped and everything has been switched out
