I think you are having an uphill battle because the way you have handled this is wrong. You do not go on a public forum and completely trash a person who is very unlikely to even see your posts so he can defend himself. Especially someone who was gravely ill and trying to recover.

The first time I contacted Steve I had his email and was refered by another forum member at My Les Paul site. He replied with his phone number that same day. When I called him he answered right away and we talkd for over an hour. I actually had a hard time getting off the phone as he enjoyed...
I sent him a text to let him know it was being discussed on here. What he decides to do about it is up to him. It is not my busines to get in the middle of this any more than I already have.

Please post a pic of the top of this middle guitar.

Maybe the OP will post a full shot of the guitar so I can compare to...
I think the scammer idea makes some sense. Steve freely gives his phone number to customers. That is how we keep in touch. First time we talked for over an hour and regular text messages from him on his mobile number.
OP said "I can’t call no number . As far as concerns shared we’ve argued...
Pic of the recent build. Everything lined up perfectly...neck angle, neck alignment. Heck even check out the saddles. Bridge is perfectly centered. Even Gibson does not always get it this right.
