Looks legit from what I can see.

If the price seems too low perhaps there are some flaws/wear that he is not mentioning.

Or it could just be a good deal. Make sure to get lots of pics

+1 pics look legit to me too

Be careful though, it does sound a little to good to be true.

Thanx, i Will ask him for more pics and we will see...

I don't mean to cause a stir, however, Ibanezes are often undervalued by the brainwashed Gibson and Fender masses. Sorry, folks, but Les Pauls sound ****ty. They do. Even the old ones. Their tone is completely inflexible and most losers use the guitar as a "rock icon" when the tone doesn't even suit their music, please see, all modern rock or vintage posers.

Jimmy page? Yes, it works there. Slash? Yes, that was the appropriate tone. Dude who plays cover music with is buddy and spent 3 g's on a guitar? Sorry.

It looks like an RG520QS to me. Hard to tell, because of the poor pix.

i play a les paul studio, and it sounds better than my ibanez.

Ibateur · #8 05-11-2007, 08:18 AM

it is obviously not a 520QS because it has a middle pickup.

Looks legit to me.

I don't know if 300E is EUR, but that's a good price here. It is closer to 400 USD though

Its all personal. Anyone who says anything as generic as "all Les Pauls sound like crap" is just generalizing his or her taste.

This statement says a lot more about you than it does about Gibson.

Metal Tiger · #11 05-11-2007, 10:26 AM

Sorry, the E means Euro, and yeah its about 400US$...

Ibateur · #12 05-11-2007, 10:52 AM

not a bad price. Can you not visit the guy and see/touch/play the RG before buying?

southpaw_lefty · #13 05-11-2007, 12:14 PM

yeah, $400 sounds closer to the going rate, + or - depending on condition

Metal Tiger · #14 05-11-2007, 07:13 PM

He told me that it is in perfect contition. I will ask him to check out the guitar soon...

You dont want to cause a stir, then you say stupid **** like Les Pauls sound like ****, and people who play them are brainwashed losers. How many old Les Pauls have you played? Inflexible tone? As Rotti pointed out, That says more about you than it does the guitar. Does your mom know you're on the computer again?

So....do you think the RG is fake or not? I'd hate to have to ask you for directions somewhere.

"Do you know how to get to some local venue"

You'd probably respond
"I HATE BUTTERFLIES"
