RobinTheHood Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 The first guitar is an E-Series with an "Extreme" finish. The fourth is a promo guitar. Epiphone has done a lot of them over the years. They are on par with the Specials, I believe. The Scroll guitar is they only one really considered rare. Those are very neat. I would love to own one.

The Goldtop Custom is a fakeroonie. Counterfeit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelE Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 How can you tell? I really want to know. The only thing I saw was that the headstock looked a little thin, but that could be the lighting or the angle. I have my LP Custom sitting here right next to me and I couldn't see one thing different except the color. Knob placement looked OK, the headstock inlay looked to be right, etc, etc. Tell me what you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msak24cardss Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 The seller of the Gold Beauty has pulled the auction. I checked his feedbacks and he bought the guitar from someone on Ebay for $490.00. I cant make out the serial number to look it up. But it does look fake to me.

The headstock inlay looked a bit rough too. Flakiest serial number I've ever seen. The cavity cover is backwards (rotated 180°) as on a lot of these fakes: Also... did you even look at that case? BOGUS. And if there was a goldtop Custom we'd have heard of it by now. No way there's only two of them if they're legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
