LP Supreme wood blem

guitarcarl · 03-02-2011, 12:08 AM

Check out this natural wood blem on the cutaway horn on this LP supreme listed on Craigslist. I've seen some variations in the mahogany-but this is really something. Its amazing that they would choose this plank with a knot in it for a body that you would see the wood grain on-and a Supreme at that!

Gorgeous, actually.

I think there's an easy explanation: it's a fake.

I could be wrong, but I think the sticker on the pickup is a dead giveaway that this is not an authentic Gibson. Also, the body shape seems wrong in the first pic.

Agreed. When was the last time you saw a Supreme with an Epi bridge lol

Not even going to start on the cutaway and knob placement.

Perhaps the body is made from "Eastern" knotty pine-har har

Looks more like someone sanded through the thin veneer on this very poorly executed fake.

"They" are not Gibson! That's why it looks like that.

Ya know, those were also my first 2 thoughts when looking at the pix. I didn't want to assume it was fake, but yeah, the sticker looks like the ones you see on those Chinese websites.
