How to tell if a Gibson Les Paul is fake...

soliloquy · 02-09-2010, 07:50 PM

nevermind, the owner just said it is a fake that cost him 300 bucks. for that money, i'll buy a dean soltero or an agile any day! :O

dennistruckdriver · 02-09-2010, 07:51 PM

Fake.

jomo · 02-09-2010, 07:54 PM

That's bad..... Real bad. He got ripped off at $300.

diceman · 02-09-2010, 07:54 PM

I like the scarf joint.

Boleskinehouse · 02-09-2010, 07:55 PM

Holy hell.

You pay for a JCM800 head and then buy a fake Gibby knowing its fake?

Man, I don't understand people nowadays...

Hey Gweed, I like the avatar. Looks like you finally hit puberty.

Boleskinehouse · 02-09-2010, 08:22 PM

Doesn't matter. He got the shittiest JCM800 they made.

3 piece neck...how can you even ask if this is fake?

floyd84 · 02-10-2010, 08:34 AM

It's real...... fake

LPV · 02-10-2010, 08:45 AM

It reminds me of the time I asked my brother "Holy sh!t,is that a Rolex ?" - "No but its a fake I got in Japan! Isn't it freakin' awesome?!". I love my brother

ctkarslake · 02-10-2010, 09:05 AM

So.....like white plastic covers weren't a dead give away?

And doesn't that say JCM2000?

I'm joking... I have one too you know.

It won't sound like a good 2204/3, but it does pretty good at getting in that ballpark. And yeah, the reverb is pretty good.

FastFret · 02-10-2010, 10:10 AM

Yeah, I know man... We played at a benefit last year as one of our Local Guitarist
Died so, every band used the Gear that was on stage and I played through A
JCM 900, the duall Reverb 100 watt and man, that was a Bad Mo-Fo fo sure!
Correct me if I'm wrong but, don't the 800 just have the 1 channel, no cleans,
made for one thing, ROCK OUT..........?

2203/2204 are single channel amps, yes. There are channel switching 800s though. Totally different amps and sound nothing like the good ones.

Yup, the counterfeiters finally got around to doing 2 screw truss rod covers etc.
