It has "elements," from some familiar LP's, but I don't know this one. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

It has all the features of a Les Paul Custom (headstock, double binding,block inlays) on the other hand I have never seen a production model of a LPC with this kind of top... The Serial is what throws me off because Customs have diffrent serial numbers and also the Customs have Ebony fretboards while this one clearly has a rosewood one. Custom shop Les Pauls have a CS before a 5 digit serial number while this one hasa serial like a studio or standard. I will look into it more - right now it COULD be a limited edition I don't know about OR a fake You can also try posting this on the Gibson Forum or a Les Paul collectors forum, they will know for sure!

I went through Gibson's Serial number database and researched the guitar for a few days before I asked here. Thanks for the replies to date.

It looks nice but it is not the real deal. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Interestingly enough, the serial number on this guitar, is shared by many of the fake Gibson's. I found four with the same serial number. Cheers!
