animalfarm Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Agree with Paruwi - I don't have or will ever have a Facebook account - too many violation of privacy issues going on with 'dem guys.... Can't see pix. Can you link us to a pic of similar git? OR post pic of YOURS as your avatar as a temporary measure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIjoe Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 mr. animal, so all epiphone special 2 is 100% authentic???... haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animalfarm Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 mr. animal' date=' so all epiphone special 2 is 100% authentic???...[b'] haha[/b] Your guitar was made at the Muse Plant, China September 1923 Production Number: 0893 ......haha! Interesting serial # you have. Guitar dater can be incorrect, as we have seen before, haha. Manual breakdown of # produces nothing. haha. Same point, Why "FAKE" a $160 guitar? haha. Tried to help. haha. you mock me, haha. Perhaps others will be able to assist. haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GladToBeBack Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I was going to point out that even to get a decent body to slap epi's name on would have to cost around $100, why bother mocking a guitar that can only sell for $160 brand new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaj Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 The pictures aren't that good but she looks like I remember mine was like. Again, why fake a Special II, indeed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIjoe Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 so they mock even the special 2 which you said the cheapest epiphone? haha... any idea mr paruwi6172??.. why is it not a fake??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animalfarm Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 haha... any idea mr paruwi6172??.. why is it not a fake??? haha! Indeed' date=' Mr. Paruwi! Dieser Herr scheint entschlossen auf das Aufreizen von etwas, ja? It would help IMMENSELY to have better pics of entire guitar' date=' front and back, showing knobs, bridge angle in relation to rest of git, back of headstock... Well, if you want to compare, and you want us to find flaws, I have a "Genuine" LP Spec II - *The "Special" Logo on yours is too close to the Truss Rod Cover. This of course, could be due to anomolies during manufacturing/printing of Headstock "Faceplate", such as excessive opiate intake during break time. *Your tuners - they seem to have large washers and hex nuts, instead of the low-dollar factory issue tuners with "press fit" bushings on Top. Factory Tuners are doo-doo. *Are you wearing a "hoodie" in the headstock reflection pic? [biggrin] MINE: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIjoe Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 thanks animal.. the logo in the headstack is really that close to yours but the washers of mine are way to big.. haha... maybe that tells it is really a fake epiphone... btw i didn't wear a hoody jacket when i took a pics.. haha...
