Near me, but it feels a bit fishy to me. The pots look wrong, the truss rod cover doesn't have the signature....

No, it’s some kind of copy with a Gibson logo, there’s a ton of stuff that isn’t right for a Gibson.

Crappy logo sticker, the headstock inlay sticker is near the knobs.

Wrong body and headstock shape, wrong control cavity routing, import TOM posts, incorrect tailpiece location.

And it’s not a Norlin so all those things matter this time.

There's just about nothing right with that.
