Epiphone Les Paul Custom on Ebay? Fake or Not?

lil_guitar_kid · 08-26-2008, 02:42 AM

Hey everyone.

I saw this epiphone les paul custom on ebay (I'm from Australia), and It really looks nice, although I've read many places of fake guitars being sold on ebay.

So can anybody let me know if this is fake or not.

Fake. There are too many things wrong on the body, but that's one of the better headstocks that I've seen.
