Absolutely fake. They still haven't figured out how to replicate the look (not necessarily the format) of the serial number. Slotted screws in the bridge posts are another tell.
I'm no expert but one thing I see that makes me question it is the fact that the fret ends are on top of the binding, and not encapsulated like Gibson's usually are... FWIW. 950 seems like too good a deal to me... something just ain't passing the smell test with me...
Chibson?
I'm a carpenter and a few years ago I did some work for an angry, wealthy ex-wife who offered me her husband's 60's Precision bass and Telecaster towards the cost of the work, about $350AU.
Sheesh, for a moment I had a huge devil on one shoulder and a very tiny angel on the other.
But no, I couldn't do that to another person. I know how I'd have felt if my ex had done that to me!
I considered jacking up the price just to spite her, but then maybe her ex was still paying the bill. So I left with my dignity intact.
Oh, and the Fenders were real beauties too.![]()
I'm guessing a Gibson made in China?
Nuge's were always pointed at the cutaway. So I never know how they are supposed to look.
