it's not undersized. Correct measurements can be found on www.Gibson.com.
Examine headstock and headstock logo to determine that they match those of authentic Gibson guitars.
Check to see that all pearl is inlaid.
Check that Les Paul model script is always in cursive.
Verify that there's not a three-screw truss rod cover.
Check the control and pickup cavities for sloppy routing or wiring.
Make sure the pickup cavity is not painted black inside.

It does not matter if its real or fake. I have a friend who has a Gibson Les Paul which was straighter. But it was from 1981. If a guitar sounds good, that is all that matters. Respect a guitar no matter who makes it.

people, are you serious, ? i see fake gibsons in my shop every day, and most of the fake ones are almost imposible to recognize. the gibons les paul is a very heavy guitar with a poor design on the neck. gibson quality has diminished since the 90s, and i make a living fixing them . do you wnata good gibson les paul? buy a tokai, its like having a les paul 59 but for a fraction fo the price.

@EPI6fingers. I totally agree with you on epi's. I own a 2010 standard left handed in ebony. And it is better than my buddies 96 Gibson standard. His Gibson won't stay in tune at all. The electronics he had to switch out 6 months after he bought it, cause it had a crackling noise on any volume level. I had a choice to buy Gibson or Epi. I went with Epi. Top quality all the way.

RIP headphone users :/

Par-3 my point people is buy Epiphone there top professional quality and they are real Lp's and Sg's. Stop spending your hard earn money on these chinese Gibson frauds.

[EPI6fingers]

Part-2 joe Bonamassa and many others for the plain and simple fact that Epiphones are top professional quality guitars. Right now the 2010 Epiphone G400 Standard 62 Sg is conciderd the best standard Sg out there today. And thats just to name one.

The only reason why Epiphones are way underpriced for the professional quality they deliver is that there Crafted over sea's period. This will most certainly change. Epiphones are being played today by Slash-Zakk wylde - Alex lifeson - john lee hooker

Other industries could take a page from electric guitar manufacturers. They make their own most popular cheap knockoffs. Gibson makes cheap (in addition to more decent ones) Les Paul knockoffs under their Epiphone brand and Fender makes cheap Stratocaster knockoffs under their Squire brand.

@lockpicker2k Epiphones and Gibsons are owned by the same coorperations, there guitars are basically the same quality.

@lockpicker2k dude epiphones are amazing

[EPI6fingers]

These guitars are nothing more than cheap garbage. i Have played two of them and they have very little quality if any at all. Dont ever compare The professional quality of a Epiphone to these cheap pieces of garbage!
