Flying V - Gibson or Chibson ?

I found this Flying V listed on Craigslist ( US classifieds similar to Leboncoin or Gumtree )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"" gibson flying v lefty - $1400 (hanford)

Can also be strung right.

Cash or trade for music gear ""

I don't think I've ever seen a Flying V with that control layout, or one in silver burst, and the block inlays, body binding, tele style knobs etc ?

The seller is looking for $1400, my first thought is that it is a Chinese fake or Chibson.

What do the lefty Gibson experts on RG think ?

That's an awful replica of Brent Hinds silverburst Flying V custom. (the worst part is the pickguard)

Doesn't exist in lefty except for a custom order. And you don't sell a custom order flying V for fourteen hundred bucks.

There is a clue that never fails for me: the color of the humbucker ring's screws: Theyre are always painted black ( ) over black rings. i don't know if taht make any sense, but here is the idea

I will admit .. I had to google Brent Hinds, I had heard the name but didn't know anything about him. He does seem to like silver burst guitars
