  • Spot the vintage

    Like "Spot the Gibson, only they're both Gibsons. One is in a museum. The other is a 2018 model.

    No clue which is original, but I like the look of the top of the one on the right better.

        If one is in a museum, and the other is next to it, aren't they, at the time the photo was taken, both in a museum?

          This is why you have trouble maintaining a relationship with others.

            That's not a 'no'.

                I don't think I've ever seen a deliberately sprayed/faded burst from Gibson with the top bout as unburst - as is found on the RHS one.
                Also the pickup covers look more authentically vintage shaped on the RHS one too.

                  This is my line of thought too.
                  Beyond that I could only guess, but would suspect the one on the right is the vintage guitar.

                      OK, here'e my guess

                      Left is the Vintage one in a Museum. Right is fake

                      Reasons:

                      Tuneomatic Bridge Positioning on the right guitar is wrong for a vintage LP -this evidence is strong IMO

                      Nitro is going to darken over time on the body -if one is in a museum -it's presumably a 50s/60s LP and gets some UV exposure causing this process of darkening to continue -but this is just a hunch.

                        The one on the left is the vintage Gibson, on the right is the Historic copy. It’s the bridge that gives it away for me. The post holes are smaller on the vintage Gibson and the bridge placement is just ever so slightly off.

                        Also, the one in the left is intonated more accurately.
                        Play more guitar.

                          I would have guessed the one on the right is vintage. But the pictures are small for me; can't zoom in and see details.

                            Some of you are correct.
