Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
Sorry sbaker for the toubles you now find yourself in. Try your best to get a full refund including return shipping. If the seller does not accomodate you, make sure you utilize the PayPal refund policy as much as you can to get satisfaction, report the seller to eBay for selling you counterfeit goods and I would go so far as to press charges with the FBI as this was interstate counterfeiting.
Lesson learned huh, expensive one, but learned well. Luckily my lesson did not cost me anything when I ended up with a fake from eBay because the seller refunded everything for me including return shipping. He honestly thought he was selling a legit guitar. Another suggestion concerning buying from eBay, make sure the seller will refund 100% of your purchase price including return shipping if the guitar turns out to be fake. Get this assurance before you bid. If they do not agree, go elsewhere.

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
Damn man, you are on fire, Way to go man. I am freaking sick of all these fakes though. This is pathetic. I reported all those Epis too, we need to get them off eBay and send a message to sellers that people are on the look out.

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
Ebay could employ a permanent person to sit there deleting fakes all day. If there are so many fake guitars on there think how much other stuff there is! Ebay needs to clean up it's act quickly or they will find themselves on the end of a very large fine for all this knock-off gear.

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
trouble is it pays ebay not to take them off, they dont earn money on people not selling things. They know full well people are selling all types of fake goods via them, and yes they shoudl have a team of people scouring for fake items but they wont, they rely on their little disclaimer when you list an item so they can try and pass the buck.
A few more high profile sueings (maybe from gibson) may make them take some action...

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
Is the knobs aligning with the stop a dead give away? I see a lot on ebay with the knobs aligning up but everything on the headstock looks normal..

BTW if anyone is wondering about my broken Epi that was supposed to be getting back like 4 weeks ago, I am picking it up Tuesday. The guy is sorry about the delays, but a lot of things have come up that he didn't see coming. He got the guitar fixed, and he says it is stronger than it was before, and because of the delay he is giving me an hour lesson for free. Score 1

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
I'm glad I found this place... I would never thought that Epi's would be counterfeited. Now when I cruise craigslist I can have a better chance of not getting a fake.
