There is something wrong with that gibson guitar.


First off, les paul did not invent the electric guitar.

Now here is my problem with the guitar.,
The binding is to yellow.
The bridge and pickups looks more like the 1974 Anniversary model, but the buttons looks like the 1974 custom black beauty.
You can clearly see that there is an extra switch on the guitar between the tone knobs, so somebody has been tinkering with this guitar at some stage.

Thirdly. No serious collector would buy a gibson without checking the serialnumber and the patent number on the pickups. There is just to many official reproductions and re-releases from gibson to be certain about a guitar by just looking at it. Not to mention all the copies and fakes.


Sorry for the horrible english. I'm Swedish.

Hey Dude, That was My Gibson.100% not a copy. The binding yellows with age. The guitar was bone stock 1974 LP Custom with the exception of the added " kill-switch " which was installed according to the previous owner in 1980.This information was verified " off camera ". Other guitars in the collection that Scott didn't buy include a goregeous 1982 Tim Shaw LP STD Sunburst, a 2001 PRS TREMONTI single cut and a 1966 Fender Telecaster.
