HOLD ME BACK!!!!

My question is... Is this real or a chibson? Seems pretty cheap for a genuine Gibson
 
Do your homework -- go check it out -- take a screw driver open the cavity---

it looks legit and I dont see a TON of SG Chibsons mostly Lesters Firebirds Explorers...

Fake as they come. Not worth $150, let alone 5 bills.

Run, don't walk, and if it's posted on a reputable site report it.

Nothing about that guitar is right. Headstock shape all kinds of wrong, truss rod cover position wrong and wrong TRC type, headstock inlays wonky, S/N stamp all wrong, fretboard should be ebony!, no nibs, wrong shape and size fretbaord inlays, wrong knob placement, shape of the horns wrong, wrong control cavity cover, metric ABR bridge, wrong poker chip even. Not to mention, where is the case?

Here's what a Supreme should look like for reference:

I fully agree with all the above.

The knob placement and headstock shape were the first two things to jump out at me.

The fakes often get the pickup switch placement wrong, too.
 
I found it unusual it had a rosewood fret board instead of ebony which these guitars normally have and also an inlay at the 24 fret. The Chibson looks pretty good though...might be worth modding.;)

Good points....for me the lack of an ebony board, the 8mm bridge screw and smaller "Epiphone" style split diamond jumped out at me.
