caulkhead Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 If it's stamped '2ND' then the Serial will have been scrubbed out by the factory - it's to prevent false warranty claims I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not correct. Epiphone factory seconds have "2nd" stamped on the back of the headstock, the serial number remains and the guitar is fully warranteed. Rejects are usually stamped "used" and the serial numbers are obliterated, sold as "refurbished", often on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
