I found this on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=47072&item=7333065251&rd=1

My first impression was amazement. Then I realized that theres a great chance this is not what the gibson people do when making guitars. Couldnt you simply add that to an epi les paul and pass it as a gibson?

It amazes me what some people would do. Even the gibson logo looks lopsided

Look at this auction - the plate is (almost) identical.
Gibson LP

No, they have different shaped headstocks - probably to stop just that.

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

Yes, it is very nice - I must say, my favourite LPs are those from the Exotic Woods series - beautiful.

I dunno... With all the fleabay scams going around, I wouldn't trust it. Plus, the modern Gibson LP Custom headstock has more of a mother of pearl (Or some kinda pearlish thingy) inlay, rather than just plain white...
