They should specify an Epiphone or, a Gibson Epiphone........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SG FAN Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 $200 isn't a bad price for a goldtop Epi Standard, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender 4 Life Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Happens all the time with "Fender Strat $125.00" when it's a $99.00 Squire Bullet (by Fender). It's as much the fault of a buyers greed as an unscrupulous seller when folks get taken in by this...... Anyone that thinks they're gonna get a real LP for $200 or a real Strat for $125 deserves what they get..."F" 'em !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
