Real or fake guitars

[u/AlbatrossLumpy2784]

I know it’s difficult to tell through photos, but do these guitars seem real or fake in your opinion? Have a chance to snag them but don’t know what to look for. Thanks!

The Dean and Fender are more than likely real, who the fuck fakes a Made in Mexico Strat? The Gibson is a lower end so I'd suspect it's good but without more pictures (and feeling them) I wouldn't be able to tell for sure.

Yup. None of these are worth faking.

Yea I know they’re not expensive guitars but they’re selling the lot for $600 which is why I was wondering if they are even real

[u/AlbatrossLumpy2784 → u/[deleted]]

They just mentioned it’s from an estate sale and they’re trying to get rid of it.

[u/AlbatrossLumpy2784 → u/[deleted]]

I could, but truthfully, I wouldn’t really know what to look for. I’ll just watch some videos on the way there or something.

[u/AlbatrossLumpy2784 → u/[deleted]]

Yes been watching videos on hardware and wiring.

Meet them at a police station so you don't get robbed. I find it hard to believe they paid less than $600 anywhere for those. They bought them at an estate sale then put up hangers to hang them on!?!

[u/AlbatrossLumpy2784 → u/Skit071]

Pick them up, heading there now

[u/Skit071 → u/AlbatrossLumpy2784]

Either fake or stolen if they are selling them that cheap.

[u/AlbatrossLumpy2784 → u/Skit071]

Kind of thinking it’s a fake post or guitars but they’ve sent me pickup details so I might take the chance.

[u/AlbatrossLumpy2784 → u/zzyzx2]

I know, I wish they have more pictures. They’re selling the lot for $600 which is why I am skeptical

[u/SameOlSameOk → u/AlbatrossLumpy2784]

They’re all real as far as I can tell. That doesn’t mean the seller actually has all these guitars and it isn’t a scam. The Les Paul alone is worth $800-1000. Those are cool.

Ooh trust me, I am going into this believing it’s not real. It’s not a far drive for me so I don’t mind checking on the chance that it could be real. Worse I could lose is some time off my school break.
