Sir C, Herbert, Dismal, The hunt continues

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

there are always a few tell tale signs from the obvious ones, the recent Chinese copies. the bridges are usually metric, though they can be converted, the truss rod is the wrong type, even the body shape can be off, the tuners are an odd colour.
Though Slash's famous Les Paul wasn't a gibson.

EDIT the 2nd one is a 2000. still a decent year though.

What I could do if I went for the 88 one is sell the chainsaw case and get £150 for that alone.
But I do like the 90. seen a few more I got my eye on.

I'm downsizing, keeping just 3 electrics, my junior, telecaster and whatever Les Paul I will buy.
