rockandrollcamera Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I have this problem, well not really a problem, but it's been bugging me since I got my guitar at Christmas. Well I have a DR212 and on the label inside the guitar it has the model printed on and then in the space for the serial number it has a sticker with the serial number on stuck over whatever was originally printed there. As I said, it hasn't really bothered me too much but I thought I'd ask about while I was on here, as there seems to be alot about fakes going about? Any help or reassurances would be great! Thanks guys!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockandrollcamera Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 Well here's my baby. As you can see she has at least 2 stickers over the serial number, and you can just about see some text coming through from under that, so perhaps there is another label or the original stamp nder that? Why would Epi do this? Surely a serial number can't change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanstreak Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Don't they do that on the factory 2nds and or returned used guitars to keep people from claiming on the original warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el capitan Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Don't they do that on the factory 2nds and or returned used guitars to keep people from claiming on the original warranty? Correct,but they also stamp the back of the headstock 2nd or USED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockandrollcamera Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 So are you saying this is a used guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Someone from Epiphone Customer Service should inject some information here. At best, it is a new guitar, that for some reason they factory stuck the wrong serial number label onto the brand / model label, the over stuck another label.... in a haphazard fashion. It may be legit, but what bothers me is that there are two different fonts. If it were me I would question the provenance of this guitar. Goodness knows any subsequent buyer of it would do the same.
