hey guys, this is the ONLY forum i know that might be able to help me.
a guitar has just popped up on ebay and i have no idea what it is, or if it's even MIJ. I think it'll sell for a low price since it can't be easily identified, so i'm hoping some of you can help me snatch up a bargain!
here's what i do know:
- gibson shaped headstock (with little side wings attached)
- serial number 005047 (seems stamped in and filled with gold paint)
- headstock has "GIBSON LES PAUL" sticker/veneer applied over it
- pickups and tuners are most likely AFTERMARKET, hence don't help
- can't tell if the neck is 1 or 3 piece (refer to pictures to see if you can)
- neck is set and has LONG neck tennon (with 1 bolt inside the neck p'up cavity)
- has fret edge binding
- thick binding in cutaway area
it's hard to tell other things from the pics such as:
- multiple piece body?
- thickness of maple cap?
- etc.
here's the link:

i wouldn't really go much on what's said in the description, but if anyone can tell what it is by the pics and info given above, i would greatly appreciate it! thanks gang
