Is what I bought a real Gibson mudbucker?
Hi all,
So a while ago I bought what purported to be a vintage 60s Gibson mudbucker on Reverb some time ago, like late 2025 or so. It sounds good, but I was wondering if it was real or not lately. The main thing that got me thinking about this was the fact that it doesn't fit snugly in my previous mudbucker cover. I had a Stonewall mudbucker initially before buying this, and I noticed that the provided cover is way smaller than the Stonewall one, despite the Stonewall one being a direct retrofit onto real Gibson basses. It's not really a huge deal, but was wondering if instead I got like a Japanese lawsuit-era copy of a mudbucker. As well, comparing to other mudbuckers the construction seems a bit shoddier.
Here is the listing:

Thanks for any help!
