Hey guys!
I was searching through the German Ebay, looking for some guitars when I stumbled across this one: http://cgi.ebay.de/E-Gitarre-Gibson_W0QQit...93%3A3|294%3A50 The article says that she inherited this guitar and does not know anything about it besides it being a Gibson. I thought I might get a steal on a over 3k Gibson Zakk Wylde sig and asked the seller for more pictures (for me to make sure it's the real deal) because she said that it didn't come with a case which made me suspicious... The pictures arrived and I took a closer look:  The headstock seems legit but I noticed the truss rod cover saying *Zakk Wylde Les Paul Custom* while the original ones just say *Les Paul Custom*. Mmh...  The pickups are wrong (EMG HZ while the original has active EMG) and looking at the neck I noticed that the fretboard is Rosewood but the Original has Ebony!  The back looks alright  The back of the headstock is where it gets ugly: First of all those are no name tuners while the original has Grover tuners. There is the Gibson logo, a *made in the USA* stamp, a serial number, the Zakk silouette logo and even an autograph by zakkk himself so it seems... BUT comparing it to a real one (took some pictures of a real one at my local store) I see that logo and silhouette are at the wrong places and that Zakk models have a special 3-digit serial number while this one has a regular serial. What really pisses me of is that they even faked Zakks autograph on the back -.- This post has been edited by ZakkWylde: May 24 2009, 12:48 PM --------------------  Gear: - Jackson USA Select KV2 King V with EMG 81/85 - Gibson Les Paul Custom Arctic White with EMG 81/85 - Ibanez Rg 8527 J Custom 7-String with DiMarzio Evolution and Air Norton - Peavey 6505+ head with Marshall 1960AV 4x12 cab - Peavey Vypyr 30 Practice Amp - Dunlop Crybaby From Hell, Maxon OD808, Boss TU-2, MXR CarbonCopy, ISP Decimator, MXR Custom Audio Electronics Booster |

Really nasty! Good think you know how a real one should look like.
Just a suggestion , that you inform the seller it's fake. See what happens... -------------------- My bands homepage
