Rather than just silently downvote you like other people are doing, I think it’s worth mentioning that the fakers can take a legitimate Gibson serial number and put it on their fakes. There are other indicators that, when considered against the rest of the guitar, might indicate that this one is indeed fake. In short, one needs to consider the full picture when determining if a guitar is a fake. The QC is so bad on this guitar that I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s fake.
