I have found a Gibson Les Paul I like online, private sale, but I am paranoid about Chibsons now... is there anybody who is quite good at identifying Chibsons who could help? If you could PM me I’d really appreciate it as I don’t want to appear to be making accusations when I’m not, but similarly I want to be sure before dropping over £1k. I have no reason to suspect it’s fake, I’m literally just paranoid but if someone would be willing to humour me I’d be massively grateful! It is not listed on this forum but that doesn’t mean the guy wouldn’t see my post!

Coral Snake if you like original hard rock!

Lots of people post links to such ads and get a good response. If I were the seller I wouldn’t be offended by it- so long as the guitar I were selling WAS legit!
If you want to keep it private I’d ping @ICBM a message- he’s the forum Yoda (& not just because he’s green and speaks funny )

Its a 2013 LP traditional with Slash pickups and an upgraded gotoh saddle and truss rod cover. The finish doesn’t looks like any cherry I’ve seen on traditionals before, looks more like a standard but I like it. I have requested more photos.

Certainly looks the the real deal to me, I’ve just never seen a finish and top like that on a traditional ever! They are definitely unfiltered pics. The case being the wrong case is odd but the seller said he bought it used in 2014 so it could be that the previous owner lost or damaged the original case?
On a side, how do you find the guitar?
