Thanks very much!

OK, the information you've given me is nice, they seem to be well made guitars.

Unfortunately I haven't tried this guitar. Because the owner lives in Lima. It's a 4-hour drive (journeys from one city to another can take long here in south America) It really looks nice and I'm willing to buy it, but there's something that worries me.

It's the logo on the headstock. It's different from what I've just seen in the photos you showed me. And it doesn't have any Les Paul or Leo Nine, or Line in it.

Here's the link of the ad where the guitar appears. I'm sorry it's all in Spanish since it's the site where we buy and sell on-line. There are 3 photos, the quality is not very good, but you can clearly see the logo in the headstock is different.

MercadoLibre: FRESHER LES PAUL CUSTOM JAPONESA AÑOS 70 - s/. 800.00

But the guy claims it to be a 70's custom model. It also has gold hardware and the finish is a reddish colour. It looks good but...

What are your thoughts? May it just be a worthless copy??

I'm travelling to Lima in a month to buy my stuff, I'll definitely try it anyway... hope it's good...

Regards
