Can you tell if this Gibson is real?

EDIT : Decided not to try to buy it after emailing the guy. He was kind of weird and kind of a jerk...

Thanks for your help!

Again, I'm no Gibson expert, but that looks totally fake to me.

That's a lot of effort to fake a studio. Looks like a regular Gibby studio faded black. I hate Gibsons faded fishes, they always chip off in my hands while playing

[Holy Schnikes]

Looks legit to me as well.

[Chankgeez]

OK, I'm wrong then.

My thoughts exactly.

Assuming it is legit I'd say it's worth less than $500. Unless you actually really like the way it feels/plays. Personally, those finishes feel absolutely dreadful to me.

Looks legit to me as well, and I'll join in the consensus of the faded finishes feeling awful. I think it would be worth it to spend a little more for a non-faded Studio, personally.
