There's a Gibson USA strap in the pic... must be legit ... lol!
The body shape looks wrong... also... did Gibson make Les Pauls with square inlays?
Lol, yes the strap was a nice touch. The Les Paul Custom features square MOP inlays.
There is so much fail in that ad. I think the I may have seen that one before, either way it has been reported (again?).
1. It is obviously not a Les Paul traditional, as it has Les Paul Custom cosmetics (so even the description is wrong).
2. The tuner buttons don't line up.
3. The split diamond inlay looks a bit off
4. The truss cover also looks off
5. The tuners are usually gold like the rest of the hardware on a LP custom
6. There should be pickup covers
7. The ABR bridge looks wrong
8. There's probably a reason he doesn't show a case in the photos
9. The most worrying aspect of the ad is the white sharkfin.
The way things are going on gumtree it is probably best to ask for the serial number and mail it to Gibson to see if everything checks out.
A correct headstock for those interested.
