My pleasure. I meant I'd like to know their MLP ID's. I would send them to a certain cement-truck driver who shall go nameless.

Good recall. There are also a couple of people who seem to go mysteriously back and forth on the subject. They have gotten in my face a few times for no reason apparent to me.

I know what you mean, and I think I know who at least one of them are.

I seriously can't get over the fact that 4 people voted that this thread isn't useful. Yeah it is! Seriously, how would people from MLP buy from ebay without this thread? Thanks Sinmastah and GNR4EVR for reporting all the fakes.

Yeah man, no problemo. I would just hate to see more threads like, "OMG MY NEW EPIPHONE IS FAKE :'(" It just felt bad telling people that their Epi was fake. Now it seems like only new people come on with fake guitars, which is still bad, but no vets getting f'd.

Theres a music store near where I live that sells second hand guitars. I noticed the other day, there was a trans amber standard which displayed some of the tell-tale signs.

Didn't really take much notice of the Epiphone headstock font placement but the E was very wide. Screw nearer the edge of scratchplate and A&D machineheads closer to the edge of the headstock. Looked a really nice guitar though, so whether it was a bit dodgy or not is a mystery to me.

What? I thought everyone had one of those. No wonder why this thread is getting so much attention! ATTN Flick, Delete myfirst post, and change it to this "Look into your favorite box of delicious fruit loops for the ring!" J/k

Sinmastah · 07-19-2008, 09:50 PM

Soooo, GNR, hows it going. Felt like I havn't talked with you in a while. Maybe we should start another PM conversation on how to route all the counterfeiters, and put them all into the fetal position crying to their mommies.
