mud guy Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi... this just showed up on the local kijiji. Seller says a korean made lp custom, upgraded to EMGs. The EMGs don't interest me, but the finish on the guitar does, here is on of the photos: Anyone seen that finish before on a custom, like a transcherry or something? -Calvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fringe Lunatic Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Anybody else think the position of the knobs is suspect? If it's a fake, the color may not be anything Epi has used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Anybody else think the position of the knobs is suspect? If it's a fake, the color may not be anything Epi has used. Yeah, I do. They look way off to me. Also, does that thing have a carved top? It may be the light, but it looks like the top may be flat. I would be weary of that guitar.

Gary Moore Tribute Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Im with fringe on the knobs its SO WRONG! It also looks likes it's smaller, But one other thing catches my eye are the strap locks, they don't look right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanH Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Those two photos powerfully illustrate that the angle the shot is taken from has a massive impact on visual perspective. It's actually the carved top is that is making one knob look out of line on the first photo. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 That top tone knob looks too far spaced in the photo the OP put here and the photo in the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fringe Lunatic Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Different years, different factories, different headstocks, special runs, etc. all make it very difficult to positively identify fake Epiphones. Because of this, I would personally not buy a used Epi without accepting those realities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
