Les Paul - Real or Fake?

[rcargs96]

Does this look like a genuine article or a fake? The truss cover looks right, but what about the headstock? (sorry about the small pic, it's the best I could do)

[RDM]

I'm calling a fake. Something about the headstock doesn't look quite right....like the middle of the top is too narrow and the headstock itself is too long.

I think its impossible to tell with that small of a pic. Anything can look a little weird in pictures. (Any pictures)

do NOT ask this on Harmony Central!!!!!! they will rip you a new one! even if it is real. They have a little thread where 4-5 people try and find all fakes, on any forum or auctions. Then they bring it on there little thread and rip it apart. With out knowing ANYTHING!! They think they're the E-bay police, LMAO

I would take it to a real pro, to find out for sure!

The whole pic is distorted and shot at a steep angle.

Yeah...I was just noticing that....but I would assume that the top of the headstock would not be affected.

Yeah....we'd need a different picture.

One sign is if the seller is asking too low a price for what seems to be a flawless guitar. Most people ask too much for real Lesters.

Looks good to me...

Looks like the headstock from an Epi Dot (with Gibson logo)
