Fake Les Paul on eBay.

[Cookiee]

Gibson Les Paul (with custom Slash logo) | eBay

Found this on eBay today and it looks like a massive fake, atleast to me. There is something wrong with the shape of the headstock and stopbar is too far back.

Just thought I'd share it here.

Nice top for a fake. Offer $100. make a good beater for that price. And you have to pick it up. So you get to play it .

It's illegal to buy/sell fakes.

I've reported it to Gibson.

Those knobs look pretty good for a fake. Usually not lined up that nice. However, they haven't got the body and headstock shape looking good enough.

So, correcting someones grammar is bad form but reporting a fake is the right thing?
Just trying to figure this out.

Just curious,
how is reporting a bastard who steals from a great company by hijacking their own patented products and making a cheaper, piece of sh*t remake of the original, while lying to unsuspecting eBay bidders not the right thing to do?

I question your morals, sir.

The guitar is in the UK so Gibson can't do anything. Not that they will anyway.

Dayum!!! Now that's fake! Did it have 5 control knobs and say "Maid in USA" on the back?

Compared to the usual fake they look great imo.
