Total Noob with MIJ LP's. What am I looking at?

[shiplett77]

I have the itch again for a LP style guitar, and think that a MIJ with scratch that itch. Scanning ebay to see what is out there. Saw this Greco Custom, but have no idea if this is legit. Even with the FAQ's page that is posted here I find that identifying MIJ LP's to be a daunting task. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
