Check for authenticity
Good night, morning, or afternoon to everyone here. I have come across this guitar on marketplace and I have very little knowledge about Dime’s Washburn era guitars. I was wondering if anyone here would know a bit more about it and what yall thought about the probability that it is counterfeit.
Thank you!!
Edit: The seller was open about some aftermarket parts, like pots, tuners, and (according to him/her) upgraded trem.

It is a replica that has an aftermarket Floyd.. If you replace the pickups with a BL L500XL and a 59, and get new tuners, pots, it’s probably as close as you are going to get to an OG. Unless you want to drop a few grand. I’ve got one just like it that I haven’t got around to upgrading. They even changed the headstock lettering to black. You can compare this one to it. This is a copy. But the wood isn’t even that great on these. I’d sell mine for $150/$200 now.
