[Drew224]

Thanks guys i knew....

....so you thought you'd ask, just in case?
Rule #1: If it's too good a price to be real, it ain't real.

Well first i read the sticky ones in the forum and than i learned the first rule.

Rule #1: First ask to the forum than buy the guitar.

And yep it was too cheap and in Turkey Gibson is not a guitar company you can find their guitars in the all guitar stores.So i thought maybe the guy bought the guitar from somewhere else to sell in the turkey.By the way thanks anyway i know my english is torturing you

I swear that serial number is the same one that was listed on the Bay a few weeks ago, it seems like they don't concern themselves with changing serial numbers all that much on the fauxs or have only one set of dies.

Hey-at least it comes with a cord and tuner. But what is that cord sticking out of the tuner? Looks like a battery cable.

I have got to get one of these Gibsuns to go with my Bolex.

Thanks guys i really appreciate your helps.Now that i learned about these fake gibsons , i think i'm gonna turn back to epiphones.Well i know this is the Gibson forum but i don't want to open a new thread for one question.Like i said i'm from Turkey and guitars are really expensive in here.Like an Epiphone Custom Les Paul is 800 euros.I can't afford a Gibson studio cause it's like 1500 euro in Turkey.But i think i can buy a Gibson Studio Faded.But you know i really like the look of the Epiphone custom.
But not like before(the times that i bought my first guitar) now i can realize the tones of the guitar and i don't want to spend money to a better looking but worst sounding guitar.
Well i know that Epiphone Standards are the same as Customs but i went to a guitar shop and tried both guitars standards and Customs and yes the tone is almost the same , but because of the equipment used in the Customs i guess , Customs are much easy to play , i really like the fingerboard of the custom.So i decided to buy Custom instead of Standard.Yes it is the same tone but a better playability and a georgeus look.
But like i said i can buy a Gibson Studio Faded too.And i really don't know what to do right now.Is there any way of get near the sound of Gibson Studio with an Epiphone Custom?(changing the pickups ... or like these modifications).Or should i just say that it is all about how it sounds..
