Also, a major giveaway is that it doesnt say "Les Paul" on the headstock, the decal is unusual, the inlays are square - which generally only appears on the "Custom" models, nearly all real Gibsons have trapezeoid inlays. The hardware looks cheap and plastic - look at the golden buttons - real Gibsons are much more designed with quality in mind. No made in the USA imprint and no certificate of purchase for proof that it is real. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Now he offers Paypal. It's usualy TT, moneygram, Western Union or any untraceable money transfer for the scams. Pay in advance then your money is gone and getting in touch with the seller again is impossible. It's possible his paypal "broke" and the buyer needs to transfer as soon as the deal is closed.

If I`m spending a reasonable amount then I usually read back a lot of the sellers history, if they dont have much and its a lot of cash then I usually dont bother, or I might email the seller with some questions to get a feel of what they are like.

Well I wouldn't go that far. The S470 I love, I bought it because I decided to pick up guitar again after listening to DragonForce. I ended up buying two Ibanez IC220s (lower tiered Iceman), because I didn't think I was going to win one and one was ultra cheap, I don't have either now. I also bought a Jackson PS3 (can't remember full model name, basically a RR3 w/ LFR). I sold it because it was too small for me. I've since quit buying guitars cold w/out having played them. But they were what they said they were. I didn't lose any money on reselling them either. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I think when you've been playing a while you know what will be right for you and what not. Like for me every Parker guitar I have ever touched as been awesome and not just because I've touched it but now I wont even play it before hand I will just buy it off ebay but remember for us in the UK the difference between trying and buying in a shop and buying on ebay is normally huge.
