Need help about a guitar

[myo]

Hello everybody
This is my first post here =D (i'm french so sorry if my english isn't terrible)

I'm very interested about this guitar (look at the pictures)
the serial number is = 7 8882

but i'm wondering if it's a real gibson and not a fake?
it seems be a reissue 57 custom but how can i spot if it's a fake?
the man sell it for 1600~1500euros ! (is not expensive in France for a reissue!)

I have send a mail to gibson service and they said it's a real but i'm not persuaded i need your opinion.

thanks

Judging from the photos you posted, it looks real to me, but I'm no expert. The price, too, seems fairly reasonable, if it is indeed a cutom shop LP.

But as I said, I'm no expert. You sent the serial number to Gibson and it checked out? That's a good sign. Did Gibson provide you with a date of manufacture? That might help you determine the provenance.

Good luck. Looks like a pretty cool guit.

Best,
Marto

I agree with Marto! It appears to be a genuine Gibson, based on your photos. Good Luck!

Hello

Thanks for your help
Finally I bought the guitar
but the seller was weird and he don't have the certificate of authenticity, he had only that (look at the photo)

nevertheless I think the guitar is genuine (what is your opinion?)

But there is something strange: the pickups are Classic 57 and not BurstBucker1 and 2 it'is bad???

Remember, the pups might have been replaced.

If you have already purchased the guitar, isn't a bit too late to ask the experts here (not me!) their opinion?
I hope it is the real deal. It looks nice.
