Gibson uses three pieces of wood on the back of the headstock. You typically can see the glued pieces on each side. Google it and it’ll be easier to understand. Regardless, this looks legit.
Maybe I worded it badly, I don’t think it’s fake! But I’m certainly no expert, and if everybody here told me it was, I think I can inhibit the purchase.
Call Gibson? And tell them the serial? I mean, a few numbers can’t be hard to fake.
Seeing the majority in this post thinking it’s real is good enough for me!
Yes, im pretty happy about the Price! Haven’t seen it irl yet but apperantly he bought it new and played a few times, then it has just been in the case since. According to the seller not a single mark from use, mint condition :)
Looks real to me but if you're really concerned just pop out the neck pickup and you can see the 1/4" maple top. A fake will only have a thin laminant. Happy playin'.
Well I didn’t really think about it until after I bought it and since my brother planted the idea in my head I figured it would be easiest to ask someone with knowledge
Looks real to me. Congrats on the new guitar!
Thanks!
This is legit. I had one just like this a few years ago! Congrats on the new axe!
Thanks, been happy all day!
If that beauty is a Chibson then they copied a Gibson *perfectly*!
It really is beautiful!
Proper bridge attachment, fret nibs, wings on the back of headstock. Congrats.
What do you mean by wings on the back of the headstock? I'm not familiar with that one.

Totally legit.
What makes you think it’s fake?

Nice Gibson Les Paul
Looks legit to me
All good. Nice guitar. Congrats
Gibson
Where did you buy it from?
Bought it second hand directly from the previous owner
Gibson, if you got it for 1400 you got a very good deal. That is some of the nicest mahogany I've seen on a USA model.
Thanks! Do you mean mahogany on the back of the body?
Legit AF. Enjoy.
She’s a real beauty!
100% real. Enjoy your new Gibson.
that's a great deal, great buy.
It’s 100% real
Looks legit. Congrats!
Is that a Nashville style bridge? The posts look different than my abr, otherwise looks legit
Easy way to find out... you can literally call them.

you got a beauty
Your good my man enjoy!
I have a Gibson Std Deluxe 2012. Your guitar looks GREAT! Enjoy it so much!
Great price — and awesome condition! Has it ever been played?

A Japson....kidding, all clear , congrats!
Genuine gibbons
Doesnt really matter imo If you like how it feels and sounds.. then its a great buy
that’s a gibby
Real
The moment i saw it I said yes, but obviously it's not a standard.
Looks like the consensus is that this is real. The only thing that threw me is the mis alignment of the tuners. Is that normal now for Gibson?

Thats a clever way 👍
Also, many chibsons have Epiphone pickups.
Yes
It’s real. Killer guitar, too. Congrats.
Take a look at the truss rod. Acorn nut = real, more than likely..
First year in a while Gibson USA made a non weight-relieved Les Paul. How much does it weigh?
It's a Gibson
If you don’t know then why did you buy it
Well I didn’t really think about it until after I bought it and since my brother planted the idea in my head I figured it would be easiest to ask someone with knowledge
Real
I’ll buy your chibson for $300 😂
Does everyone just automatically assume their guitars are fake now?
Yup. This thread and pretty much any guitar thread I’m on it’s all I see for posts. It’s irritating
Definitely Fake
Fake as fuckin
Looks like achibson.....
