Didn't know that Gibson made LP basses with a bolt on neck? Nothing looks right about this one to me.

Fake!

Does that answer your question? 

[Nocturnal]

Could you be a little more clear with your answer?? 

[Freuds_Cat]

Heh heh, what a shocker.

"THE GUITAR SHOP SAID blah blah blah THEY SAID blah blah bla hblah blah blah THEY SAID blah blah blah THEY SAID.
Oh and by the way, PAY US and WE WILL SHIP IT RIGHT AWAY" 

[n!k]

WOW that truss rod cover is hilarious!

It's so fake you could hardly even call it a "copy"! What a mutant!

[Basvarken]

The Gibson logo isn't even centered right. Plus the angle is wrong too.

The headstock shape is exactly the same as the one of my Japanse Triumph copy. And the diamond inlay (fake m.o.p) is the same too.

[barend]

yes, but the thret board is excellant!

How ignorant you are! No apppreciation for those rare late fifties, early sixties Les Paul basses with the tell-tale zero fret. Only very few crept out of Kalamazoo.

 I don't think I need to add anything. It is so bad you can hardly call it a fake .

[Basvarken]

It is obviously not a very credible attempt to fake a Gibson.
But I bet it's a good bass.

Nice try! HA HA HA! What a joke. It looks cool though. I'd give him $300.

i contacted this guy and told him whats what with his bass. he said i was wrong, don't bid on it, stick it blah blah blah. i do this often (bored) when i see errors on the bay. most people are grateful for the info. not this little turd, however.

Just goes to show that 100% positive feedback is no guarantee of honesty. And I'm not surprised, considering the disclaimer about what some music store told him. This guy knows it's a fake.

It's one thing if it's just an uninformed seller but this douche deserves getting the auction pulled. We all should contact eBay and report the auction as a scam. In fact, I'm headed over now...

[n!k]

We can collectively act like Rickenbacker lawyers and destroy this menace in the name of Gibson!
