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.

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!

I love the way they describe the Zakk: "The New Epiphone Les Paul Custom electric guitar You are bidding on the classic Les Paul Custom in Black made by Epiphone! The Les Paul is still one of the most famous Gibson models and fits to any style of guitar music!features gold hardware and is a true classic.

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"?

Subject: RE: Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Custom serial number authenticity

Hello,

This guitar does appear to be a counterfeit.

Best regards,

Vincent Wynne
Gibson Customer Service
---------------------------

I'm trying to get a refund. We'll see how that goes. It's sitting waiting to be shipped back as soon as I get the refund and his shipping address.

But, my loving wife allowed me to buy a REAL silverburst from Guitar Center today, should have it in about a week, new in the box!

Thanks,

Sean.

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!

I dont think its a waste when 1) No more people are getting ripped off, and 2). Ebay IS listening and dumping their auctions and 3). I hate T.V., so what the hell? Whats an hour a night amongst friends? I still get guitar time and everyones happy.
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!

No offense taken. When I stop getting support, then I will quit. If it means only ONE naive kid doesnt get a fake in their hands, we have done our part. If he does anyway, I dont have a lot to say about that. I can just say weve done all we can.

Keep up the good work, Gunner!
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!

Geez dont friggin stop! I think a lot of people here have been helped already and I cant even count how many Ebay auctions have been taken down because of you and the members here. I know the world wide trade in fake Gibbys and Epi's cant be stopped here but I really think your putting a dent in some of the crook's sales. I can tell you Ive really been educated on fakes in just a couple of weeks. I always look forward to checkin this thread to see who you've busted. Keep it up and Rock on.

I am not tired of the fake threads, but they were around before I created this thread. Did it install some paranoia into some people, of course. But they are not as ignorant now, and they are starting to pay attention. Because of this we are starting to bring attention to the cause, and making everyone more aware of what they are getting into when they try to buy a guitar now. Unfortunately people do not just have to worry about if the guitar looks good and plays great, now they also have to worry about if it is legit.
