Is it fake?
Hello
This will be my first post !  I was roaming on Amazon when I saw this: The photos are uploaded by some user who bought that guitar (that's what amazon says at least >.>) That price is just EPIC!!!!! But is the guitar fake? The reviews are positive... And I've looked for signs of being fake and only found the odd screws in the truss rod cover... The logo is ok and the tuning keys ring is not BIG Sooo yeah... Is it fake? |

Don't buy fakes. The sellers only get satisfaction when they sell one. |

Relax... I wish I could find it round' here... I guess I'll just end up with a Honey Burst Epi LP Standard Plus. Oh and... What pick-ups do you recommend for that "Slash tone"

IMO that is a bigger factor in finding a certain tone than the pups are

 .and I use a Laney Linebacker Reverb 50 from the 80's  It doesn't really have a strong distorsion so I use it with a Boss Metal core ML-2. More of a blues amp >.> |

Re: Is it fake?
Boss Metal Core???? You need an OD Pedal.

Yeah.... At first I was aiming for the DS-2 or something like that but they didn't have it on stock so i got that one instead because I was inpatient..... Since I could use some effects I thought of buying the Boss ME-50 which has pretty much everything, is it good?  Late edit: My friends said I should get an Ibanez Tube screamer... But there are like 3 different types .What are the differences??? Last edited by Cheddar!; 10-31-2010 at 02:19 PM. |

I'm not sure about the UK but in Australia we get seriously f***ed up the arse with taxes making the guitar cost almost twice as much! But in this case 203GBP does seem a bit too low to suggest a genuine (new) Epi.
