Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
Hey guys, I lost the ability to edit the post, due to time. So now if I need to edit it I will have to PM flick. Right now I am compiling two lists.
What claims to stay away from. (Like when the seller claims the guitar comes straight from the factory in China) What sellers to stay away from. So far I have two on each list, the first list is posted on the thread. For what sellers to stay away from I have Slave_to_shopping, and KittyRock123, factoryguitars, thanks to Benniator and GNR4EVR from searching around. I would like to add to both of these lists, so I can PM Flick only once for a while. Thanks!!!

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
Do you think it would help if we started some kind of petition or campain or something to get Ebay to post warning or an article on this subject. If when you search for epiphones a big red warning came up at the top of the page warning of fakes and how many of them are around also how to spot them, maybe less people would get stung by these jerks?

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
They need to shut down the factory.. but that is close to impossible. So the next best thing is to educate people about these fakes.

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
What scares me is that they even have engraved pups now...
Epiphone Les Paul Custom Vintage Sunburst - eBay (item 230264053223 end time Jun-27-08 16:54:31 PDT) To be honest, this looks the most accurate in all the fakes I've seen. Hell is it even FAKE? Apart from that cheezy casing, everything else look ok... though the tone knob of the neck pup seems abit off... or it could just be my eyes.

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
Whats the situation like with other Epiphones (Dots, Firebirds, etc) being faked? I know its a LP forum and hence concentrate on LP's but I just wondered if they were any tell tale signs for the rest of the Epi range.

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
Customs seem to have the same problems without a whole lot of difference and the standards and studios have their own. Tells me their coming from the same place.

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
Interesting point. I haven't heard of any faked Dots, Firebirds, etc... would be interesting to find if these are faked as well.
