The knobs look to be in the wrong spot - closer than the usual fakes, but still a bit off.

Also, there's no way in HELL that guitar didn't originally come with a pimp ass case, so that's another giveaway

I over heard a man in one of our local shops this weekend talking about a guy who'd been duped with a fake. A shame that folks who dont know any better get ripped off like that.

I wont lie, If one played well & sounded good, (and if it were cheap enough) I'd buy one to keep as a hack up project, or something to experiment on. I'd paint over the Gibson logo, and if I were to sell it, I would disclose it were a fake mfpoms

Has there ever been a real gibson (not epi) made in Japan?
