lpfan Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I found this on the local CL today: http://lexington.craigslist.org/msg/1413424172.html One of my friends knows the guy selling this and said he was gonna buy it. He doesn't mind it being a copy because he can't play, its more for decoration. I actually thought it looked pretty good for a fake. I did notice right away the knob algnment with the tailpiece was wrong but I didn't see much more wrong from the pics. I'm sure I will find more errors when he gets it.

lpfan Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Yeah, I even called the seller and talked to him. He said he knew it was a copy when he bought it off of someone who bought it off e-bay. He said it actually sounded pretty good. I told him that didn't matter because my friend was only going to decorate with it anyway. I am curious to check it out when my friend gets it to see how it is.

JohnMcClane5000 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I think the not stamped serial number on the back of the headstock is a serious sign for fakeness.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpfan Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 I could not tell if it was stamped or if that was just a decal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
