I thought you wanted to identify it. Are you afraid of what you might find there? :ganz
Please help identify Les Paul Deluxe Sunburst Flame Top or fake?

Dang man- all this time did you think you had a real burst?
Just curious.
Must be a bummer if you did. and huge bummer if you paid as if it was.
but glad its a good guitar for you!
Ignorance is usually bliss !

I wonder what the two filled holes by the serial # where for?
I've seen those on a G&L before..
Never on a Chivson..

So yesterday I am leafing thru the latest edition of Guitar Player 2/18 and there is a article about a $220 something fake copy of a Gibson Custom Les Paul in a aqua blue something like finish that was an obvious China forgery( the Custom Shop run from 2012 of only 35 guitars) and the reviewer told all about the crap build on it and someone mentioned donating to a school or something and the reviewer thought better of that and had the said forgery crushed . Gibson and Fender are very aware of these over seas forgery's and like the old saying goes if it sounds to good to be true it probably is ,so buyer beware .
