• THIS IS THE 25th ANNIVERSARY YEAR FOR THE LES PAUL FORUM! PLEASE CELEBRATE WITH US AND SUPPORT US WITH A DONATION TO KEEP US GOING! We've made a large financial investment to convert the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and now have to move to a new host. We also have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!
  • WE ARE MOVING THE LES PAUL FORUM TO A NEW HOSTING PROVIDER OVER THE NEXT 5-10 DAYS. We will experience downtime during that period. Please be patient and have confidence that we will return! Many thanks, Mike Slubowski, Admin

No one seriously bought that believing it was a Gibson did they? That's an appalling fake.

As Chibson as Chibson can be.

I watch a guy on YouTube called China Guitar Sceptic and from some of his recent videos it appears that of those guitars which don't get stopped at customs, the Chinese are getting a bit better - 1 piece necks, better bridges etc so even by their standards, this is a poor one.

Mind you, looking at some of the specs for 2015 Gibsons, i am not sure which one i would rather prefer - brass nuts, PRS logos, I mean, come on!!
