Hey! I was browsing Reverb when I saw a "The Paul" pop up for $950, but there's a lot of less than reputable things going on here... The seller has only two pics, the description is absolutely bare bones:
"This is a 1979 'The Paul' with unknown history. I named her "Dire Wolf" after the inlay stickers I put on"
And most of all, the headstock has a downright bizarre decal on the headstock. Here are the photos:
Obviously, the gut reaction for an odd headstock logo is "fake!", but there are so many little details that seem to be in order that it would be downright baffling for it to have such a ridiculous logo, so there must be something going on I'm totally oblivious to. I'm gonna message the seller to get their story, but obviously if there really is something funky going on they wouldn't tell me the truth. Let me know, have you seen anything like this? Possibly a weird custom made decal to replace a worn logo? I sure don't know! Thanks
