My recording setup and Les Paul #1...
The feet on the Blackstar are inboard, so they fit nicely on the Marshall

Not a “Gibby”....a “Chibby” maybe....but it’s had work done.Nice Gibby
Doesn’t make it a bad functioning guitar.“Les Paul Style guitar” is more accurate.
---- did you disinfect it Robbie??? My junks been all over that thing

“Les Paul Style guitar” is more accurate.
I still have issues with "Chibbies" having Gibson logos on the headstock, as well as many really high quality copies of vintage Gibsons. Yes, maybe the initial seller says it's not real, but I've seen reports of really good copies being sold as authentic '58 and '58 Lesa Pauls for almost $200K. They were so good they fooled experts when being appraised.
I built two really good copies of '62 SGs, and they have my name on the headstock, and I have several more inlays for when I have enough time to start finishing some of my projects. If I am going to put the work into something, it will have my name on it. I could never deceive someone, and try to pass off something that isn't.
Totally agreed! I do not, in any way condone counterfeit guitars.
I have one of those too...I didn't use inlay, i ordered the veneer with inlay already in place...
One of a kind serialization...
I'm not here to convince anyone either way.
I have two fake Gibson Les Paul's and one real Gibson Les Paul. One I built with the help of a Derrig Les Paul Replica Maker in Rancho Cucamonga, the other a Chibson Adrian gave me after I gave him a real 2016 Gibson SG. (True Story - Ask Him.)
My Faux Paul Custom and 59 Faux Paul are more thermally stable than my real Gibson Les Paul hands down. They sound and play fantastic, because, of course, I have worked them over for studio use.
Everyone chooses the fakes over the real Les Paul everytime. The 59 Replica is my number 1 guitar and it works daily in the studio and with our band. These make great stage props. To the average attendee, i am playing a 59 Les Paul and switching to a Les Paul Tuxedo Custom mid set, then sling both around my neck for show.
I wouldn't feel good about slinging a $200,000 Les Paul around like that...
I tell everyone who asks that they are not real...as @Mitch Pearrow SJMP
I was answering SG John there. You don’t need to defend your personal choices with me.
I had just corrected someone that called one of them a “Gibby”...one that, in fact, is not a “Gibby” at all.
No biggie...
All is good...I just got home from my commute in from the studio and I was just posting away...
