davey500music Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 COULD ANYONE HERE HELP ME TO SEE WHAT MAKE OF GUITAR THIS IS TKS DAVE ..
Artie Owl Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Don't know for sure but that looks like a knock off to me. Unless they were using 3 screw truss rod covers for a while that I'm not aware of. Dunno, some other people here would know for sure better than I would, but it doesn't look like a Gibson to me.

Tks Brandon ....will wait to see other input there is no truss rod nut under plate you have to go thru sound hole
pippy Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Some of the images are tiny which doesn't help but the headstock is the Epiphone shape and the guitar is completely the wrong outline for a J-45. EDIT : Here's the real one on the right. Note much rounder 'shoulders' and correct bridge shape. Avoid it unless it's cheap as dirt and plays like butter. P.

Search for images of a Gibson J-45 to see better. Avoid it unless it's cheap as dirt and plays like butter. P. tks p....paid 250.00 hopefully it plays half decent lol.. will know when my friend try;s it tks dave
milod Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Pippy - click on the images - it brings them up to a decent size on your monitor. m
Mr. Natural Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Those last two images on the right aren't tiny; they're NANO-images.

Kimbabig Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Pippy - click on the images - it brings them up to a decent size on your monitor. m Milod, even when you click on the two on the right, it brings them up to an even smaller size.
davey500music Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 Look like a chinese fake to me could be who know;s lol .. which one were you looking at Alfa tks dave

TommyK Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Headstock shape looks Epiphone. Not sure about the label. Usually, a label is applied off center to avoid having to paste it over a center back brace which reinforces a book matched back splice. Which this doesn't have. It's a one piece back.... The second and third shot appear to reveal that there may have been another label on the guitar at one time. Or, it could be dust and lighting. Pick guard looks Epiphone like. Why is it flat black? Lighting? Painted over (to hide the tell tale Epiphone epsilon?) Without better pics, I caint' say for sure, But if I was a bettin' man I would NOT buy it for a Gibson price. Something is fishy.
Bender 4 Life Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 probably bought a stack of blank "Gibson" soundhole stickers off ebay, or counterfieted them themselves.......slapped them in Chinese knockoff guitars, and there we have it..... we sells the finnest GUITARS that are had in the world ! we keeps in stock all the bigest names brand.....Gibsin, Fenderer, Paul Read Smith, Marten and Tailor, and all is make and ship from right here in People Republick of China, so we gives you the LOWEST PRISES in the world !! dont miss you chanse to buys one or more of thees great savings guitars !
