Real? Nope.

2 dots at the 12th fret....nope

It's a shame. Someone paid a lot for a fake.

...a fake from an obnoxious, ill-informed, opinionated jerk, too, who ran an auction with a bad photograph.

To my eye, the marker dots are too big, something is wrong with the pickups, (too large, proportionately? Too close together?) the TRC looks way too fat in the midsection, and the upper body horn is too rounded.

A GOOD picture would put my own suspicions at rest.

Pulled! Anybody save the pic?

Here is a scan of the pic:

Erk!! Even with the bad pic it's as uglee as sin, Kevin!

Certainly the fret-marker at the third fret tests the limits of legitimacy as well.
