Serial is UC07090112 Bought it at Guitar Center, supposedly new. Has a Made in China sticker like my EE Paul. Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubstar Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 anything you bought new at Guitar Center or any other epiphone dealer is almost certainly 99.9999999999999999% NOT a fake... this is what it said: Guitar Info Your guitar was made at a factory not yet added to the database September 2007 Production Number: 0112 almost certainly Unsung China... http://forums.epiphone.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=10068 http://www.gibson.com/products/epiphone/forum/toast.asp?sub=show&action=posts&fid=2&tid=189622 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitmore Willy Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hello Baker, Not familliar with this one but, I would be surprised if GC knowingly had a fake. Are you sure you read the number right? U=Unsung MC= Muse Recheck the numbers and maybe post pics. I am sure there are others in the forum that will know more than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baker Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 I don't think it's a fake, but I'm positive it's a UC serial. Dubstar was probably right about the Unsung China factory name.... Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Someone should pop off an e-mail to the GDP and get him to add the UC code... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baker Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Yeah, it's quite scary to put in a serial and get an unknown factory result! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matiac Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I thought Unsung was in Korea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I thought Unsung was in Korea? The parent company is Korean (U) but they have a huge new plant in China as well (UC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
