Verifiy Authenticity 2022 Les Paul R9

[JohndaRevelator]

Hi!

I just bought a 2022 les paul R9 Heavy Aged factory burst but I am trying to verify authenticity. I have everything in my possession but the control cavity does not have a “R9” stamp.

I want you guys opinion.

Here is the listing on reverb :

Looks kosher. Plus, Fuller's is an authorized Gibson dealer. I doubt they would scam, or resell a fake as real.

And R-stamps have 'gone missing' before...

Thanks !

What makes you say it comes from fuller ? The reverb listing is not from a “Fuller” shop.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Reverb listing shows Fullers in Houston as the seller. Brand spanking new guitar.

The Reverb link you provided brings up a listing with Fuller as the seller.

Hmm.

Seller shows as ‘’Jared Gear Emporium from my side’’

Internet Link bugged out. I can’t post the exact link. I will post pictures.

It’s real

Ok.

The control cavity had me worried :
-No stamp.
- Wood is unevenly cut
- Tunnel for humbucker routing is uneven

What is your opinion on the matter ?

Best regards.

My 2c worth..
.. if you have doubts (even if it’s real) .. move on.. as this will effect your relationship with the guitar.. ..the right guitar will come along..

..plenty of fish in the sea..

Looks like here’s something stamped right there, obscured by the wiring (see arrow).

This looks totally legit to me.

That's some good scrutinization, right there!
