Because it wasn't manufactured by Gibson.

Because it wasn't manufactured by Gibson.

That about sums it up!

Hetfield's is a Gibson, but that one isn't

I believe this one is fake but there is the real gibson lp custom (made to look like the hetfield iron cross) on ebay if you want to compare pics;

Wow...that's bad.

Ok AeroGuns, I'll give you a clue. Gibson Customs don't have rosewood fretboards.

Why's the bridge pickup ring in the legit one a shorty? Is James' like that?

Because, who ever did that, mounted the ring backwards.

 

[Exluthier]

Wow. Yeah, they sure did.

 

[standard man]

Wow. Thats definitely a fake. That rosewood bored is just crazy!

 

[weirdotis]

Faker than Pamela Anderson's endowments.

 

[djem]

Wow. Thats definitely a fake. That rosewood bored is just crazy!

Plus the super nice truss rod cover and real shitty job of the headstock logo.

Am I seeing things or is the width ratio of headstock top - bottom off as well?

Also, the position of the Gibson USA logo on the case is off.

PS - I know nothing about this stuff compared to some dudes on this site, but those are the ones I think are red flags.

BTW, Does the EBay Hetfield one look like it has bridge collapse? Is that what people mean by that?

Very Chinese.
