Fake LP listed KW. Just look at the bridge pins. They are slotted, Gibson does not have slotted bridge pins???

Mint Gibson Les Paul. Owned it for about 8 years now however I no longer have the time to play it so I’m looking to pass it on to the next person.

Pickup rings are also wrong, truss rod cover should just say "Standard", fretboard looks like barn wood.

Domed tailpiece post heads and screw on pickguard too close to the edge. Those two are common traits with fake Epiphones.

I cannot help but wonder, if a person is going to create a fake of something, why not just make one that actually looks like the bloody thing you are trying to imitate. It isn't like it would be that hard.

Believe it or not this same guy tried to sell a Highway one a little while back as a reissue for top dollar. When I confronted him, he told me to mind my own business. I sent his ad to Kijiji staff and will forward to Gibson today

 

[HeavyMetalDan]

His ad was just forwarded to Gibson, they take this very serious

Well I emailed Gibson, they have been open 5 minutes. Here is their reply

Is this from a GC forum member? If so, well done!

I am not sure. The same guy tried to sell a highway one strat about a year ago as a reissue for 2K. When I confronted him, he told me their mind my own business. So he knew what his guitar was. Scammer

Maybe misinterpreted it as the ad in question was posted by a GC member, not the ad calling out the scam ad. That's how I read it.
