Help!! Is It Fake??
HI, found this one on craigslist, its a b-stock so i dont know if thats why serial number shows up unrecognized??? Any ideas serial number is 311447154 seemed odd to me but its owned by a real person not a cousin of a factory worker(that i know of anyway) I dont know how to attach an image but, the serial number is on a white rectangular STICKER where it usually is painted. Also how do you feel about the b-stocks???

They do that with factory seconds. They're should be a huge "2" stamped into the back of the headstock too
Nothing wrong with factory 2nd guitars as it's usually just a blemish in the finish that is for the most part not even noticeable To insert images you need an image sharing website like Photobucket, unless you know how to go through the pictures properties and grab it's url. Once you have the url click the tiny little icon witht he mountain on the front and inserted it there. |

Then you should be fine. That's how they mart the b-stock/2nd Guitars. Like I said before, It is most likely a small blemish in the finish. you're bound to get them anyway from playing so I don't see anything wrong with getting it. As for it being good. It is an Epiphone and there quality is hit and miss. I will say that all my Epiphones i've bought before playing, one online, and haven't gotten a "dud" yet

Re: Help!! Is It Fake??
What do you base quality on? Not electronics and hardware and wood?
Just busting your balls! Glad you love your Epi and got one of the "good" ones.Anyways - there is nothing wrong with a factory second guitar - usually a cosmetic blemish. almost always an insignificant amount of damage - much smaller than the big ass "2nd" they stamp in the back of the headstock!

It's a real EPI.
"USED" on the back of the headstock does not mean that it's a factory 2nd. "Used" is a factory 3rd, or "C" stock. Last edited by Inside Guy; 05-18-2008 at 05:36 PM. |
