Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
Thats what everyone thought 2 months ago. There were a bunch of Gibson's getting counterfeighted, and everyone was like, oh well who would counterfeight an Epiphone. Hell I knew that no one would. Well look at this thread. I think I changed my views on this just a little.

The classic tuxedo look and world famous features that have made the Les Paul Custom a hit since 1954 are now available in a great price range with the Epiphone Les Paul Custom. Multiple bound body with arched top and gold hardware, a quick mahogany neck for great action and feel and a solid, glued neck joint for stability and a great sustain all come together to make this guitar one of the best values on the market today" What the heck are these people smokin when they create these listings??? The Zakk has "tuxedo Look"?

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
Hey you, Epi fake police! Don't whaist your time by raking up ebay and searching for fakes! I know that it's a bad thing to sell those fakes, but on the other hand, it's not worthy spending hours on ebay to find them out! I don't want to start trouble
, but It seems like there are some newbies out there, whose are verry affraid now and checking every guitar in a store, if it's a fake! (Know what I mean?) Don't get me wrong! This thread is verry importaint and useful as well, but don't blow it out of all proportions!

The average worker at Gibson probably makes, say, 40.00 and hour. For every P.O.S. guitar sold from China at 400.00, thats one less guitar sold from their factory, and Ebay is sellin at about 3-5 a DAY. I all but guarantee that people have lost jobs due to lost sales, not to mention that some pretty pissed off people are getting a 400.00 flyswatter with no recourse. Ill leave it up to the folks here to decide... Lost cause? Or not?

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
Well, it's not! But there are just to many people selling fakes and especially in the last few months, the marked became very huge! To huge to control! And do you think this forum is the right way? Maybe It is! Or at least it's one step in the right direction - blow the whistle on these criminals! So, there's nothing I have to say against the fact, that you guys want to help stop them!
Like I sad! Don't get me wrong, but I'm tired and bored of all these: "Oh, I found another fake! And one more ..." or "Is my Epi fake?" and so on! Sorry!

Knarbens, I think it kind of silly also when someone buys what is obviously a fake, and THEN asks the forum to 'PLEASE tell me it's not a FAKE!!!' And by the way, your English is fine....much better than Gunner's German, I bet!
