    Buy, pay for it, get it delivered, take it to a guitar shop and get a letter that says counterfeit, send it to eBay and they'll refund your fees. The guitar shop will destroy it.

    Guy gets no cash and lesson by losing his guitar.... 

    I've it with gold clubs. Not on purpose mind!!

    I'd love to do that, but he never mentions Gibson anywhere in the listing, therefore I daren't :anguished:

    It doesn't matter. It's a fake Gibson and hence is illegal to sell no matter how it's described.

    Yes for the padded case. . That's probably the only thing that is Gibson!

    You and I are able to distinguish between the make of the guitar and that (allegedly) of the case. Some people may fall for cynically subliminal advertising however.

    Absolutely, he had to get Gibson in there somehow!.. he probably would get away with that in a court of law.

    Anyone else put off by the heavily rubbed neck. There was a thread recently about a Les Paul with a crack or a break or something.

    I have just messaged the seller asking him to confirm whether the guitar is a Gibson Les Paul or a Les Paul copy.

    He would not, because the photos form part of the listing.

    He's (she's?) either very clever or very stupid, i'm erring on the latter for the time being
    The auction title has all of the right keywords to attract search engines and gullible buyers. The item description does not actually claim that the guitar is a Gibson. In the mind of the vendor, no fraud is occurring. 
    THIS^^

    the seller isnt claiming its a Gibson and to be honest its sooo obvious its not one - as its so wrong on every level.
    It makes no difference - it's still illegal to sell it because it has a Gibson logo. Les Paul is also a trademarked term, I'm fairly sure.
    +1 - and that could 'con' an inexperienced buyer. 
    I started out with nothing..... but I've still got most of it left (Seasick Steve)

    It's tempting to buy it, and then report it to Ebay as a fake so they tell you to smash it up and refund you.  I've already reported it as fake though, so it would look a bit weird if I bid on it now.

    Just reported it here as well:
    http://www.gibson.com/Support/Report-Counterfeits.aspx

    If Gibson can get there act together, an official communication from Gibson will probably make Ebay pull it.
