[i.d. your Epiphone here -- serial # key, guitardater link + factory codes... a worldwide guide >part 3]

Hello again to everyone guys! ^_^

 

As you would notice, the time for me to disturb everyone once again to check the authenticity of another Buzzsaw model came already. Our most recent contestant joins us from UK and has a knob dropped-off. Its owner is a guitarist in a band called Unit Nine and the ad was found on Gumtree.

 

Here's the link to the pictures that I've received from him yet but I already asked for more ;)

Thanks once again in advance for all replies!

 

P.S.: I really hope that this one would not be a fake and that I'd get it in order to stop finally boring everyone again and again with questions about the same model all the time

Hello again everybody!

 

I'm writing to you in a big emergency! If I want to buy this guitar I have to move in less than 2 days or it's going to someone else :'(

I found this new ad on a Polish website and it's looking much more decent but I need your help to confirm its originality. It's once again an Epiphone ZW Buzzsaw model :^)

 

I can't thank you enough for saving me from a big scam last time!!!

 

Thanks already for all answers!

 

P.S.: Because of my upload quota I can only add 2 pictures but I've got more here:

The serial should not be pressed into the wood, IMO

 

It should look like this one, it's a camo, but youn get it

It is also missing the Zakk image on the back of the headstock.

If it begins with an O, it is indeed the referance of a Korean factory yet as you pointed out even in this case the rest of the serial # seems odd. I'm really confused :(

Stay away !

 

It seems to be a fake !

 

At least I've never seen a serial# like this....

 

someone wanted to make it look like a Gibson serial

Hi everyone,

 

I'm sorry that my first post on the forum is about this issue but I've been willing to get myself an Epiphone for a long time before they discontinued the Zakk Wylde Buzzsaw Les Paul model. Finally, a couple days ago I stumbled upon an ad on OLX Ireland for this model and asked for some pictures of it. I can't decide if it's a counterfeit or a real one and even Guitar Dater Project is clueless about it.

The serial number seems like 00503120 or O0503120. I'll try adding some pictures too. I'm kind of in a hurry to decide before I go back to my country on buying it. So I'd appreciate big time any help!

 

Thanks in advance!
