Ha, should have known it would be posted already. On his link you can see some of his other relicing work too. Very interesting

Les Pauls no, but they have done other bolt-ons, including the S-1, Sonex, Invader, Marauder, Challenger etc...
I have an S-1 and really like it.

Don't forget the Corvus!

Cream control cavity plastics also are a giveaway, as is the reshaped headstock and 3 screw trussrod cover

His work has been pointed out a couple of times before.

I have a Fender bass that I've been trying to sell, but it's a bit rough around the edges and is overlooked because there are newer, shinier examples of the same thing around everywhere. However, looking at the prices these fake-decalled things go for, I am seriously considering investing in a belt sander. I can take the hardware off and leave it outside in the rain for a week.

Strange. The bids have been wiped out and it's been relisted. eBay even gives you a link to the relisted item. If the guitar was reported and the item removed seems a big flaw in ebays system if the user can just relist it straight away!

I explained to the guy that his ad was somewhat misleading.  This is a Gibson Baldwin student series guitar made in the east.  He's re-described it & relisted it.

Didn't spot that. Fair dues. Whatever I might think of the relicing (not to my taste let's say) decent of the seller to relist without kicking up a fuss
