I thought that at first glance, too, but the MIJ open books have two hole truss rod covers and this has three.

The "G" in Gibson on the TRC also looks to be in a different font than the rest of it. It is bolder and a has serifs.

Hi Bear, read the thread (again) - it's already been established that this guitar is faker than a prostitute's orgasm.

Re: Tell me about that guitar

The thing I spotted right off was the font used for the serial number on back. That looked weird right from the start for me. That and the 3 screw TRC. All MIJ open books have 2 hole TRC similar to Gibsons.
