Got any more pics of it?? I'd like to see the whole thing just out of curiosity. Looks like it has a snake inlay on the fretboard too......

There is a real version, snake inlay and all. Not sure about the custom shop inlay on the face of the headstock though.

here you go.

Akadave · 01-12-2011, 07:06 PM

Screams fake, not even close. The cutaway is just horrible. Most of these are so easy to see its not even a challenge. How do people get fooled?

planks · 01-12-2011, 07:25 PM

No.

***mobprop667*** · 01-12-2011, 07:28 PM

even my dumb ass knows that one is fake.

Last real one I saw was on ebay for $25,000. Maybe that one wasn't the real deal either.

msfenderarg · 01-13-2011, 10:49 PM

goodwater · 01-13-2011, 11:47 PM

you are correct, sir. Hey now!

glynneCicada · 01-14-2011, 12:34 AM

It IS real. Real s**t.

Pinkie · 01-14-2011, 12:38 AM

My Q is why would you want that anyway?

Drew224 · 01-14-2011, 01:11 AM

Selling off fakes for stupid low prices for a Gibson is just douchey. I hate people.

dazzypig · 01-14-2011, 02:50 AM

Wow! that's one of the worst I've seen. I'm not even sure if it's worth being called a fake.

ctkarslake · 01-14-2011, 07:49 AM

That tweed case is a riot as well! Pastel pink interior, never seen that before. With that exterior the interior should be baby blue.

Oh, and that headstock inlay is 90 degrees off, too small and probably not an inlay at all LOL. Hideous fake.
