Bender 4 Life Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Epiphone was advertizing them on their website as late as last fall, maybe even early this year. You sure its a fake? Even Guitar Center was still selling them last year.
acewarslave Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 the searial number seems to indicate that it genuine,im under the impresion that the model was deleted in 2002,its made in china without superdestotion pick ups.it just doesnt sound right as well,any idears:-k
Memphs1978 Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 need some pics to really help ya... i think they only came in one color ( could be wrong ) but really NEED PICS!!!!
acewarslave Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 errr forgot to say bought it from ebay nuff said really...but ive bought 4 other guitars off ebay without a problem,if somone can tell me how to post photos ill put it up btw thanks bender 4 your imput..
Memphs1978 Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 www.photobucket.com make an accout and post them...
acewarslave Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 thanks memphs just went there and got an account,dam camera run out of battery power so im just charging it now btw i like your gold top had one about 18 years ago sold it to buy a ibanez iceman doh it was just a faze i was going through..
SkEpTiKaL Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 It's gonna be pretty tough to find a legit Ace Frehley on eBay. They're heavily duplicated by random Chinese manufacturers, along with ZW Sigs. All I can say is don't buy from anyone shipping directly from China.
Memphs1978 Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 thank you sir... i want-ed an iceman always thought they was kool... oh here are some good/better pics of the goldtop.... Â
acewarslave Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 very nice.the one i had was 78 or so gibson the neck had been broken and pro fixed but it use to go out of tune and buzz all the time,the iceman ended up getting stolen..
acewarslave Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 gee fellas what time is it over there?
Bender 4 Life Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 1 way to help answer your question, closely compare your neck/headstock/nut joint with the pics of "real", and "fake" on the "fight against counterfeit guitars link on Gibsons "Lifestyle" page. there are also pics of body cavaties, and other comparisons. Realize going into this, that the "real" pics are of Gibsons.......but Epi's nut joint is similar.
acewarslave Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 came to these forums when i thought the guitar was sus and there wasnt much info around,somone posted the body cavety pictures..looking at them im sure its a fake plus the pickups..
