This can't be an original. Maybe the "custom shop" part means it's a re-creation or some crap like that.
But if it is an original...nah, can't be. Probably some HK counterfeit.
**edit**
OK, never mind, it's a re-issue. I'm not disappointed (sniff, sob) I'm not. It's ugly as sin anyhow.
**edit again**

In apology for wasting time and space on a meaningless thread, I now offer you this example of someone who knows what he's doing, playing a classic Gibson Les Paul..

You'll find plenty of beauties like this If you go to Talcahuano, Bartolomé Mitre or Sarmiento.

I've seen some rare, vintage guitars in Argentina. This one may not be authentic, but no doubt there is one in the country.

My bro makes these in the Gibson custom shop. The originals are $5000 so that price isn't too bad for down here.
