MrPenguin9 Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 I'm thinking about buying a Slash Epiphone Goldtop but do not know if it's fake. Is it fake? It does not come with a certificate of authenticity http://london.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-musical-instruments-guitars-Slash-Signature-Les-Paul-Standard-Epiphone-Goldtop-Guitar-W0QQAdIdZ324266300 Thanks a lot!
MrPenguin9 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Posted October 24, 2011 If it is new, like the seller said, it should have the COA, IMO ask for more pics, especially the backside of the headstock, and opend control cavity.... ....and Welcome here Ok, thanks! asked for more pics, I will post them when I get them.
LSAR Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Nothing about the guitar itself sticks out to me, except for the stickers and things still being on it. The lack of COA seems odd. That's the kind of thing I'd hold on to. I don't think the price is all that great either...
Bender 4 Life Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 shouldn't the p'ups say "Seymour Duncan" toward the bottom?
damian Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 You won't get SLASHTONE from it 'cause it's not a, well, um, real..... Buy it if you have an Appetite For Fake Construction.......
Morkolo Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Looks kind of fishy to me too, looks closer to a Chinese knockoff than it does an actual Epiphone.
MrPenguin9 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Posted October 25, 2011 well he's not answering so I'll assume it's a fake, thanks for the help guys!!!
MrPenguin9 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Posted October 25, 2011 just out of curiosity, what about this epi? (not a slash one) http://london.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-musical-instruments-guitars-Epiphone-Les-Paul-Gold-Top-W0QQAdIdZ324068138 I really want a real epiphone/gibson! I've never owned one before. Thanks! :)
Xaj Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Don't touch that one either! The EE is too large. It should be the same size as all the numbers in the serial. And the knobs... they don't look right to me either. Compare with this one:
Whitmore Willy Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 The first one was re-listed Oct.25 (today) for $1700 and no COA? http://london.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-musical-instruments-guitars-Slash-Signature-Les-Paul-Standard-Epiphone-Goldtop-Guitar-W0QQAdIdZ325096145 The second one is straight up Doggy-du-du. Fakes come out of China for $300 with case. Your choice...Gibson or Epiphone headstock. And no! I am not divulging the website although I'm sure many have seen it. Willy
MrPenguin9 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Posted October 25, 2011 ok... well note to self, only buy from authorized dealers. Thanks a lot!!
Pete B Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Doesn't have seymore duncan on the pickups on this one
Supersonic Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 AFAIK none of the Slash signature pups have the "Seymour Duncan" writing on them.
Morkolo Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 This No Risk - No Fake X2 Chinese Replicas have made the used market a scary place these days. :unsure:
