It *looks* real to me- but wait on an expert in here.

are you asking because it's only around 400$ now? i tracked a bunch of classics this past few weeks and they all go for 1200 to 1400. it'l get there. .

Looks real except that I don't see any binding "nibs" on the fret ends and the headstock looks like its delaminating for some reason.

The holly overlay will delaminate if the guitar is not stored properly. I have a 1997 All-American II that I kept in an overly humid practice space one summer and the headstock looks just like that.

Lack of nibs...re-fret?

Looks real to me. The price is low, but it will jump up as the auction gets close to ending. I was watching a couple of Classics before I bought my Studio and that's what happened.

Looks like a piss poor refinish job. Gibson logo looks like it could have been put there after the fact, Bridge looks too close to the pickup, knobs don't look equally spaced. But then again my eyes are old...

the only thing red about this guitar is the cherry around it's edges! It's as real as the day is long, though not one I'm interested in. What on earth are you seeing that we don't?

:shock: Looks pretty damn real to me. Definitely not very pretty but not fake.
