I hate that you're selling this because one day somebody will actually sell this off as a "real" Gibson.

There is some obvious things that buyers will know, here is the neckpup opening on an original, you can see there is more exposed wood at the end of the fretboard and no extra bore marks/stamps. Frets are a givaway also, they should not extend over the binding since the binding was put on last on originals. Tuners should also say Gibson on them as I recall

Builder did it right and left enough tells so as not to make it look too perfect, I commend him

Still a very nice replica that needs to be rocked hard

Re: 1959 LP Burst Replica

I never said they'd sell it as a '59. I said someone will sell this off as a real Gibson. People buy counterfeit Gibsons all the time thinking they are real. This guitar is miles ahead of those Chinese knockoffs.

I'm not trying to be an ass either. I'm just telling the truth.

Selling a cheap Epiphone that LOOKS like a Gibson is one thing, but if this is on a par with a genuine Gibson then it's not quite the same crime.

I'm not saying it would be alright to sell this as a Gibson, just that it would not be as bad as some cheap POS.

That's true (in a way) if it was being sold as a player. But looking as genuinely well-aged as this one does probably relegates it to being bought by an amateur collector who thinks it's going to be an investment and a piece of musical history or something. That's IF it's being sold as a Gibson.

A Gibson will hold and sometimes increase in value. A copy won't.

Not saying a bad word against the particular guitar here, by the way. From how it looks and the obvious attention to detail that went onto it's manufacture, it's probably of a higher standard than a lot of guitars Gibson are releasing at the minute.

Hopefully, especially in this internet age, a collector will research their subject before buying any guitar as an investment.

If I bought this guitar thinking it was a real Gibson I'd be really angry. But not as angry as I'd be if it was a POS Chinese fake.:bigthumb:
