I am a Gibson guy and not familiar with Strandberg fakes whatsoever. Guy on marketplace offered to trade me this for an American Professional II Strat. Only pictures he sent (I didn’t not ask for anything specifically).

What should I be looking for as far as giveaways for a counterfeit?

New to me 1959 IGC Les Paul in Sweetwater exclusive finish “Royal Tea”. I love how light this guitar is, as well as the ‘aged’ finish.

Next to my Gibson LPs for the family photo.
