Congrats! That's a beautiful pie. I've noticed fakes seldom pop up on eBay Germany, they must be mostly aimed at U.S. the market where the volume is greatest.

Actually, the majority of the fakes I've seen have been in the UK and AUS.

I didn't see very many on the US eBay when I looked.

Re: Fake?


That's a real nice guitar! Congratz to that purchase. And with the Marshall that baby will rock!

I was taking a look at that one myself, last week. But since I recently bought another LP (still waiting for the delivery), and I'm not Bill Gates, I had to pass on this one (as on so many others).

Anyways....have fun and welcome, man!
