Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread II
Go to Epiphones website, or Gibsons. Either way, you can get an answer there.

Hey guys, i'm bidding on this one and just wanted a quick check from you guys. The flaming on the maple is very well defined, i've not seen one this nice for a while so i'm hoping it's real.

I hate that "Nuclear Extreme" Burst, just looks like a cracked up paint job. Cool "Parts his hair on the side" headstock too... Definitely different

I dont either, but I dont like that he photoshopped the back of the headstock. Its all fuzzed out around the edges like theres something hes trying to hide.

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread II
If ya look at the person selling it, seems like they only sold cloths and such and the last time they used ebay was oct of 2008, may just be me being paranoid but. And sure they prefer paypal but that don't mean much really, i've still never recieved all the money back from a bad sale many years ago if they take all the money out and paypal tries to collect, you don't get nuttin.

Is It just me, or does the shape of the headstock look wrong?? Looks like the sides should have a little more bow to 'em. They seem to be too straight. shouldn't it be more like this??
