For you guys that can spot fakes:

[Lungo]

This is in my local craigslist. I don't know how to spot a fake that well but I'm guessing this is a MIC knock-off. What say you?

Really? I still have the ad up studying it. I'll try to capture pics and post them.

 

[Crotch]

I think. This is what I got

 

[Lungo]

Well they didn't delete before I could save their pictures. It was listed for $500 BTW.

 

[Crotch]

Fake as hell. Sticker and serial number. Let alone the horn and other things. Truss rod cover. Goes on and on.

 

[SixAngryStrings]

Fake as fuck..

 

[Lungo]

I thought so. I went from "holy cow $500 they don't know what they have" to "WTF that looks off" in about 2 seconds. Thanks for looking.

Split diamond looks just awesome...lol. The knobs also point off toward the bassist. It goes on and on.....

 

[MrWrong]

Fake as a hooker's smile.

You didn’t need to post a link or the pics.
You simply had to say “There’s a Gibson Les Paul Custom for $500...” and you’d have had your answer.

Curtains must match the carpet or it’s fake

 

[Bobby Mahogany]

Rosewood board on a black Custom?

Rosewood board because "matching the "Standard's" tuners".

Also I love how the neck pickup pole screws are "reversed".
That guitar must have been owned by Peter Green at some point, you think?
That info should have been included in the ad!

 

[Pete M]

The case may be real.

Fake as a strippers tiddies.
