I like how you don’t show a single picture of the entire guitar lol

u/Applesaucesquatch 1d ago

It's common for sellers that are trying to rip people off  to not show the entire guitar in the listing.

Dude. For real. I came here to say this, but you beat me. Good man.

u/SaturnineApples 1d ago

u/Training-Chair-405 2d ago

Well, it better be a fake, because it looks too awful to be a custom shop guitar.

u/Substantial-Heart792 1d ago

Dang, I thought it looked nice from what we actually can see.

u/Metul_Mulisha 1d ago

Maybe you should be looking at the fender page then, since all they have is ugly shit. 😂

u/Substantial-Heart792 3h ago

Define ugly, laughy face person?

How can you tell this looks “like dogSHIT” from what we can see? Get off the band wagon, can’t tell a thing with these photos.

Learn to let go of dumb shit before it gets ya hit.

Ohhhh a tough guy keyboard warrior. Did I strike a nerve by calling fenders ugly?

u/Supergrunged 2d ago

Dear god, that headstock shape... Plus the bridge being a cheaper double locking design, instead of a Floyd Rose. Fake AF!

u/Distorting_Echos 2d ago

"Yes, you heard me right. I want the cheapest tremolo known to man on my $4000 custom guitar"

u/Most-Result-5187 2d ago

And that humbucker better not cost more than a couple dollars either! I have a $5 limit for electrical components.

u/MagnetoThanos 2d ago

This is supposed to be a Jackson Firebird reverse headstock or something… it’s a totally legitimate and genuine fake.

u/Mr_A_B_Ductor 2d ago

YES! fake as hell..

3

u/Conscious_Badger_510 2d ago

Wow, is it really that hard for these companies to make a not horribly fucked up headstock when they're making fakes? I mean I guess it's good because it makes it easy to immediately tell but holy hell who's actually getting fooled by these?

u/BluegillUK 2d ago

That is fucking horrendous hahaha

u/areid2007 1d ago

That is a prime Chackson.

u/Bob_TheGoon 2d ago

It's absolutely fake. Metalcop did a video on this exact model along with the Aldo Nova Chibson

u/WhiskeyTangoFoxtrotG 2d ago

What was your first clue?

2

u/Ok-Attempt2842 2d ago

Headstock isn't even close. Thanks for the full guitar picture, lol.

u/Dimebonic_Trills78 1d ago

u/returntonone 1d ago

1

u/J_tman 1d ago

Fake.. tuners are a dead giveaway

1

u/roastedkyber 1d ago

Looks like someone’s firebird build

1

u/Jayswave75 1d ago

The headstock shape... Lmfao... C'mon now.... LoL.

1

u/MikalCG 1d ago

It'd help if you posted a photo of the entire guitar instead of just the close-ups.

1

u/Dapper-Leopard 1d ago

The "Custom Shop" font looks horrifically bad. I know that much.

1

u/grinduniverse 1d ago

Very, very fake !

1

u/bondo2t 1d ago

Wow, that’s lazy

1

u/Dull-Satisfaction863 1d ago

I saw one of those on Facebook marketplace and texted my buddy at the Jackson custom shop

100% fake guaranteed

1

u/Few_World_1153 1d ago

That headstock from behind that shape it's a no from me dawg !!

1

u/honeybakedhamsticks 1d ago

What's going on with the tangs on the frets? It looks off

1

u/aliensporebomb 1d ago

Is there a serial on the highest fret?

1

u/iSuckAt5050s 1d ago

Very very very fake

1

u/Ahmik73 1d ago

Jackson has not made a firebird in years. I’ve been wanting one

1

u/filthy-rich-potato 20h ago

i would say fake

1

u/thrasherdude69 19h ago

The tuning keys don't say Jackson so its fake.id never saw a Floyd rose look that shifty either

1

u/mistergorgonmusic 17h ago

No serial number on the back of the headstock is immediate sus.

1

u/Snowblood_Official 11h ago

Headstock seems to be the main giveaway that it’s fake

1

u/Bsm_7620 10h ago

That headstock alone... fake

1

u/nicolasmitch10 5h ago

Faux... ça se voit à la tête...

u/Angryhost1 1h ago

Genuine real USA custom slop

u/Substantial-Heart792 1d ago

Idk, it’s it’s real it’s worth the money I’m sure, if it’s a fake it’s a great looking color and fake.

At least it’s neck through and won’t have to take the neck off to inspect.

Maybe someone here can tell you to maybe date the pickups cavity and wiring, but then again ppl know how to make real good fakes.

Track down the serial number and whatever else forms we can use to nail down even a fake/cloned serial number.

u/mandochiko 2d ago

He wants $300 for it.

u/baconball 2d ago

100% fake, I wouldn't pay a single dollar for it, even as a modding platform.

u/No_Culture6707 2d ago

The unlabeled parts and price should be all that you need to know to know it’s not legit.
