If that were real, I reckon that'd be an okay thrash guitar. You know the one you just pull bits out of, try neck sanding operations ona and such. I just wish it didn't say gibson on headstock....

Members snakefoot Posted October 25, 2007 Members Share Posted October 25, 2007 hi guys the mother of pearl inlay is too short, it should come down to the truss rod cover and the four quarters that make up the diamond are spaced too far apart, the guitar jack is a silver 'outtie' should be a gold 'innie' the pot cavity's were painted black and badly soldered, the guy gave me a full refund, and admitted that it was fake, 'but one that had slipped though' it was very well done, but little things gave it away, also when i played the 'd' string the whole guitar vibrated, lol oh and it came with a green strap that said 'Rambo' on it - lmao, if it was genuine would'nt it say epiphone or be plain?

Members intothevoid Posted October 28, 2007 Members Share Posted October 28, 2007 How can you guys tell if it's a fake just from the pictures on the ebay listing? Oh and that is an awesome avatar caffiend, I love Budgie. Did you hear they are coming to Australia in February? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members milosch Posted October 28, 2007 Members Share Posted October 28, 2007 Some of the worst Gibson Fakes ever. Headstock, truss rod cover + screws, paint looks really thin. Hilarious - as if they're not even trying. Serial numbers stamped, or printed (or overlaid by computer. Different headstocks, logos. Man, at least get a little organized.
