I highly doubt it is a fake.

Re: Very Rare Mystery Gibson

I've never seen those inlays on an unbound neck. Have you guys? Every Gibson I've seen with these floral inlays -- or the Super-400 style blocks, for that matter -- I've always seen them on bound necks.

I don't know if it's fake or real, but I do know that there's no way in hell I'd be interested in it at that price. Even if it was a real prototype, I wouldn't consider any price in five figures to be realistic.

There's room for TWO more pickups on there!

A deluxe caught my eye on their website until I saw this.

1976 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe

This is a sweet guitar. Comes with Gibson gig bag. A former happy owner decided to etch their friends names into the backside of the body. They are not very noticeable unless you look close.

Firstly, why only a gigbag? Secondly, what kind of idiot scratches friend's names on to the bag f a Les Paul. I know it's not exactly the store's fault, but it just caught my eye.

No this ones kind of special, being the 2nd one ever made. He claims it's in great condition, but is offering it a ridiculous price. When asked the price tag on it he said it's not really displayed for sale but the price on it is 75,000 .
