ef_in_fla Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Looks pretty good but to be sure you'd have to get bigger, close-up photos. Seller seems to have a good rep for someone new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Strum Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 thanx buddy but its an ebay sale and thats all i hav.... Email him and ask him to send you better photos. I use to do it all the time. If he has reason not to send them to you, then you have good reason to move on to another guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron G Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 FWIW, the guy has a website http://guitarsurgery.brinkster.net/default.aspx And if you Google "robbie gladwell" there are a bunch of entries that would lead one to believe he's legit BUT $415 US (I converted his buy it now price) is a bit cheap. Too cheap maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Norm Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Having a picture of the back of the head stock could tell you if it's second or used.....That would explain the low price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelodyMaker1 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 At least this guy lists contact info. address and phone #. He also has a pretty legit looking website.(this is not an endorsement). Not like mzonline who sells guitars and health and beauty products. Huh...

captmidnight Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 My 2 cents worth...they are all fakes...well at least half the folks on here seem to think anyway:-" The volume and tone knobs line up right...the Epiphone on the head stock seems the right size and tilt...the bottom of the 1st 'p' hits at about 2 o-clock on the D tuner as it should...I would say its legit...but if you look close enough I am sure you will find some little something that would put doubt in your mind. If you are worried then don't buy it...best thing to do is order/buy one from an Epiphone dealer...that way you will know for sure it's the real thing.

Guitar Chico Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 BUT $415 US (I converted his buy it now price) is a bit cheap. Too cheap maybe Cheap, yeah but too cheap? I don't think so. At my local music store they sell epi les paul standards for450 to 600 dollars depending on plain top, plus top that kinda thing. GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Nazarenie Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 ebay and epi don't mix! get one from a shop seems too much money to waste. i buy other brands off ebay that i know have not been faked but i won't go near epi on ebay.
