I reckon that's a fake.

You're probably right

Is rep short for "replica"?

the "horns" look wrong too.

 

[therealjohnny]

ah right, didn't notice that

That'd make sense, could quite easily be worth the €350 all the same.

 

[mel gibson]

don't customs usually have split parallelogram inlays?

tbh gold hardware and a horrible sunburst job isn't my cup o'tae

Here's a Custom with block inlays, it's the headstock and diamond logo as well as the body top wood that put me off, along with what Gary said about the horns being wrong. Reckon REP must mean replica.

Tony Iommi uses 8's

BB king uses really light strings too.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Doesn't Jimmy Page use 9's or something?

I use 10's on the Gordon Smith's and 9's on the Strat.

i think we've just about covered it here...

Yeah old people and Iommi use really light strings.

 

[ann post]

iommi doesn't count.

Hence keeping him out of the old people list.

Thought a bargain Marshall 1959 SLP had popped up earlier but turns out it's just head case and chassis for 150 pounds which isn't really a bargain at all.

 

[ann post]

i meant the lack of human finger tissue.

Obviously enough yeah.
