I Was Scammed Out of $15,100 | The SNAKEPIT Counterfeit Les Paul Story

It is very important to note that Mr. Harrison was NOT the creator of this guitar and had nothing to do with it – see his hearted comment. This was a lie fed to me by the seller that he later admitted that he bought it from a different person contrary to his initial story. Also, I have no bad blood with CME or Gruhns. They are nice shops that just weren’t able to assist me with this matter.
