rct Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I can't reveal the clues to the obvious fakeness of it because the counterfeiters have come out from under my bed and are monitoring this thread to see what they've done wrong. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 The hand is fake but the pick is genuine. However, the pick is rubbish because it's not a custom shop reissue, just a USA model. Pah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Mac Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 but surely the answer is then to just hold it upside down ? Supposedly that's how Ted Nugent plays, using the flat end across from the sharp end of a standard pick... For real, not a joke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
