Correct!


I have 3 Les Pauls right here in front of me, and have owned over a dozen more since the early '80s. I can spot the difference between a real Gibson and an Epiphone from across a room by now. The shape is very distinct, and I'm so used to seeing it the "Correct" way, that even something slightly off looks odd to me.
