If you haven't watched my YouTube videos... can you spot which on is the fake?
I'm going to guess the one with the highest quality control?


I keed, I keed. I can't tell which one it is. The first one? I only say that because I like that top the best and I feel like I could be easily fooled.

I'm actually a professional cork sniffer. I have tone wool boxers. But to be unique I only use left handed strings on my righty guitars.

It's the one with the Bigsby over the computer. The top had a little giveaway at the seam so the Bigsby hid its weakness.

My 84 LP has been with me since I think 88 or 89 and has been on stages with me from NY to Miami and I have no idea how many shows I've done with that guitar it's been a ton of them. She has some battle scars but to me it just makes her look better.
The L4-A now belongs to my friend from a trade we did and I've regretted getting rid of her ever since

This is my most recent Gibson but also the oldest one - a 1973 Deluxe. It is almost entirely stock except it's had the caps replaced, but everything else from the pots to the tuners is still original. It's got some mojo marks from being played but in very good shape for it's age. There is a bit of lacquer checking you can see in the last photo but only from an extreme angle.

Unless your Gibson looks like a rectangle with the word “image” inside it, I cannot see you Gibson! LOL.
Maybe only people banned from the old agf or the new momo cant see it? I may have pulled it from the old site?

Are you banned from agf.com or the new momo? Or never signed up for either? Just trying to figure why

That may explain it. I asked to be removed from momo and got banned from the old AGF.
What a d-ck move.

I see the problem. You don't have NEARLY enough Les Pauls.

[mention]mozz[/mention] that SG looks amazing! I've always wanted to get another one but I've become apprehensive about dropping the money on a Gibson with the increase of QC issues lol.
And the lack of ebony boards...
