Is this Les Paul a copy?

Looks like a Custom without the headstock inlay. Did Gibson make anything like this or is this a knock off. It just doesn't look right to me.

3-screw truss rod cover = fake (usually)
"Gibson" on truss rod cover = fake (usually) (Epiphones can have Gibson on the cover)

F'n fake and the damn seller knows it.

[dosmun]

I was 99% sure it was but it never hurts to ask. I wasn't looking to buy anyway.

That headstock shape is a classic example of a Chinese fake, they try to have good attention to detail yet they keep putting out that same crappy lookin clearly fake headstock.

100% fake. Without a doubt in my mind.

Offer him $50 for this obviously counterfeit Gibson just to hear his reply.

[dosmun]

I actually did offer him $50 for it. Still waiting for a reply. :stir

It's a fake and the seller said so in his ad,.........

"Okay..Being Christian and all. Honesty is where I stand. just found out that this is not an original Les Paul. but a $#@# good copy."
