Ray Charles could spot this one.....
I've seen checkerboard bound 4001 copies that really required a close look to see that they were fakes.

Yeah Paul, I saw that "tiny dots" for the controls thing too. Also it clearly isn't neck through looking at the wood grain. Finally, (as was noted) the fireglo looks pretty darned bad.
There are other fakes that have the wrong bridge, dot inlay with binding, etc., where it is more obvious, but a newbie wouldn't have known. The price is what will keep most away from this one. Hopefully it'll get pulled by ebay (not yet though).
