Gibson Les Paul Custom headstock logo

Hi friends, I like to buy a Gibson Les Paul Custom Black with Gold Hardware and I like to know if the headstock logo is the old style Norlin Gibson logo or is a bad copy.

Thanks in advance :)

As far as the logo/headstock goes, she's real, so you're good.:thumb:

Any way you could get pics of the rest of her?:naughty:

:hmm: The headstock doesn't jive with that bridge... It should have an ABR-1, not a Nashville. Some were changed though. Why, I don't know. :laugh2: The knobs aren't original, but that's no big deal.

If that Nashville is original, then it has a very early looking headstock for a post-'75.. I don't think that's the case though.

Many thanks friends for your coments. I put more pictures from the back. Could it be a 1973 Gibson Les Paul Custom?

Yes, it could be... Can you post a close up of the back of the headstock? What's the serial number?

Can't tell you when it was made, without the serial#.

Hi!!

I bought this guitar one week ago.

Back of the head it's a Gibson Custom shop logo. Everything is ok, right? haha

I mean just that I have not bought a fake guitar ... the seller was really serious. paid 19000 SEK (1898 Euro) got a bit obsessive thoughts after I googled the fake Gibson's ... The guitar is a bit heavier than my Les Paul Studio ... On the back is a serial number beginning with CS. I do not know why I am worried ... Thank you my friends!

Yeah. The seller said 2005. Do you know why some customs only have the simple custom logo? mine has a Gibson Custom shop logo. couldnt find anything on Google...

Next time you should make your own thread instead of posting on other peoples thread. Again, your custom is a real Gibson
