[quote name='robocorpse' post='1092538' date='Jan 17 2011, 02:32 PM']Yes, thats what I meant, See what I mean though, that looked dodgy to me pretty much immediately.
Also, the "Les Paul" silkscreening is too light, and the "MODEL" is slightly offset to the right.
TRC sides are too rounded with not enough white showing, and "Standard" is too fat.
Also, shouldn't an '85 LP have a fibre headstock veneer? I swear I can see woodgrain under the clearcoat...
Buttons look too white, but thats probably the lighting/photoshopping
Are those photos you posted yours or his?[/quote]
To my untrained eye, the "MODEL" is in exactly the same place as the LP in the picture that Johnston posted. Using that as a comparison as well as other Google images of an 85' LP Standard, I see your other points fairly clearly.
Lysdexia - have you posted this on the LP forum that's been mentioned above? It sounds like the Argentine is trying it on big time, but there may be reason to clarify the authenticity of the guitar.
