Another Craigslist fake...right?

http://houston.craigslist.org/msg/1114923026.html

I'm no expert at spotting fakes, but that serial number seems too large and Gibson to my knowledge does not paint or ink the serials to look like that...knobs seem to be placed incorrectly as well.

The guy emailed me this morning stating that it was real and that he paid $2700 for it on ebay...

So either he knows it's a fake and is trying to pawn it off on someone else or he was the one that got scammed. I really hate either possibility.

Hey, I would love it if I was wrong and this guitar's genuine! Don't quite think that's the case, though.
