    That's not even a good fake Gibson. It's an import that someone has added a label to. And of course it's a pawn shop that got taken to the cleaners again. We had a wave of these several years ago, all coming out of pawn shops.

    If you have time report it as a counterfeit.

    I like the tailpiece, though. Especially cheesy. And the snakehead. Nice!

    Seller took it down. I reported as counterfeit when I first saw it. For posterity the mandolin is pictured here:Click image for larger version.

    I reported it as well. I suspect we'll see more of these.
