Professional counterfeiter more like!

The guitar has also had the Tokai headstock logo replaced with a Gibson logo (done by a professional luthier) and the Made In Japan label removed from the rear side of the headstock.

He says that the only way you can get one of these is from the Gibson Custom Shp at a cost of $3500.00.

...I didn't know Gibson's Custom Shop did Tokai counterfeits...

For the right price, they'd probably make anything.

Peter, maybe he had an entourage with him going to work every day.

Did the Gibson name on the TRC look like Gibsun to you?

It does a bit.

Here is the MOP logo on my J185/12
