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

Looks legit to me as well.

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.
