To be honest, this looks the most accurate in all the fakes I've seen. Hell is it even FAKE? Apart from that cheezy casing, everything else look ok... though the tone knob of the neck pup seems abit off... or it could just be my eyes.
Yes, its fake. The trussrod cover is too rounded, the Epi logo is too close to the upper corner and the letters are too fat and hes hiding the serial number because he knows we know about the two letters being larger than the numbers. Look at his other guitars, they show that. Its telltale of all the fake customs. And the Pickups are probably photos from a real Epi, but not THIS one.
