animalfarm Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 does this mean its a fake? and no its doesnt look 20 years old Not necessarily, check link I just "Edited" in the above post... look at pix. It's always possible to pull the control cover and get the Potentiometer numbers off the back, and read the pot code... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicester35 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Here you go........ http://forums.epiphone.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=8067 the serial doesn't really tell you if the guitar is legit or not......... but I don't think someone would fake a 150$ guitar' date=' but that's just me[biggrin'] Peter I agree with you Peter. From what we have seen, the vast majority of fakes are Les Paul Customs and special editions (Zakk Wyldes etc) - in other words...the ones that sell for the most money!

BKitten Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Your picture link doesn't work. You're linking to a file on your computer which we can't access (because it's on your computer). That's not how you link a picture. It doesn't matter anyway. I guarantee you absolutely 100% that your Special II is not a fake. There are simply no recorded fakes of Special IIs. Counterfeit manufacturers don't waste their time faking the budget models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roisin123 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 alright thanks sorry bout the link i have no idea how u put the pics up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKitten Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 alright thanks sorry bout the link i have no idea how u put the pics up You have to upload it to an internet site like imageshack or photobucket that can host the image, then you can link to the image with IMG tags. Anyway doesn't matter cos like I said, I don't need to see it to know that your guitar is not fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electrosushi Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 hello! just wanted to know what you guys think of these 2: Epiphone Special II plus this amp: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animalfarm Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Electrosushi - start a new thread in the Electrics Section, re-post your photos. I have some comparison pix for you, also, please get the Model # of the Amp - never seen one like that. And I'm having heck with your serial numbers - Guitar dater says: Muse Plant, China... September 1923 Manual research doesn't produce anything useful, it's the "23" in the numbers - usually the Year number.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
