Hafid Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 hello everyone, i just got the guitar my uncle gave me, is this epiphone fake?

pohatu771 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) That's a real bad fake. Ignoring parts that can be replaced, like the counterfeit Grover tuners (which do not replace a Kluson-style, since there are no extra holes), incorrect pickguard with comically oversized logo, and unusual pickup covers, the body and headstock shapes are both wrong. It also looks like the pickup route includes the entire dogear shape, with the covers being mounted inside the body.

That's comical. Edited June 9, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Nope! I w/Sarge not even clicking the link,, with all the scams and phihsing crap going on right now, not even worth my time. I got 100 bucks solid that's a safe bet that no one (China or otherwise) is counterfeiting models of new Epiphones.

The only way it could be worse is if they had hand-written Epiphone on the headstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
