meanstreak Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Sure looks fake to me but I'm admittedly not an expert. No serial on the back of the headstock, what looks like an Epi sized pickguard, and that funky shaped fretboard all scream fake to me. http://www.ebay.com/itm/162431722399?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l6006&boolp=1&_trkparms=gh1g%3DI162431722399.N43.S1.R2.TR4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buc McMaster Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 That one is all wrong....... - beak on the fretboard - appears to be a volute at the headstock - label ain't right, nor is the serial number - white cap on the neck heel - barn door electronics - single layer t-rod cover - top of headstock doesn't look right It is a shame folks try to bamboozle people like this.......there are better ways to make money.

jedzep Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Guess they heard the noise and pulled their listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 The seller is disclosing much less of a spiel this time around. When it was listed and was a topic here last month, the seller was telling of a Gibson neck swap onto an Epiphone body. More fake spotting and general Hummingbird info from last month's thread: http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/135609-gibsonepiphone-hummingbird-frankenstein/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot the bridge (wrong shape), the rosette (3 main circles instead of 2?), wrong pickguard position, the shape seems also wrong to me no clue what this W on pickguard is.
