Gibson Les Paul Standard

Post by StimpyRV » Mon Dec 22, 2008 9:01 am

Hello everyone. I've had such a good response with my last post. I have decided to ask another question. With such a collection of knowledgeable experts on this forum I am such I will get the help I need.
I need to authenticate a guitar I have just bought is genuine.
From my internet research the serial number matches to a 1991 guitar and I believe the "Gibson"Logo and truss rod cover are "tell tail"signs of replica Gibsons so I have included two pics. Front and back of the headstock.

I am only worried because I got it for a good price and you know what they say about if something is too good to be true....

Thanks to everyone in advance for their knowledge and time.

StimpyRV :D

Looks good to me ...

Without eyeballing the whole guitar it looks right.

Grain direction, filler, serial # ( 1991 ), tuners all seem correct to me.
Someone else here might know their later model Gibbo's better than me.

Sounds like the price was good too ?

Well done.

Cheers, AP
