Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!

I think we may need to make an account called FakeEpiphone. Then we bid outrageously high on things and not pay for them if they are fake.

Yep, its been asked, and answered by me before, so here we go again- They fake them for the same reasons they fake handbags and tennis shoes and jeans- bulk sales. Its easier to fake and sell Epis because you can sell a lot more of them because they are affordable.
