Check this out I'm interested but am a little weary of ebay.

Epiphone ES 135 Custom Shop LTD Edition ES135 UNPLAYED - (eBay item 280187411933 end time Jan-03-08 16:24:16 PST)

real or fake???

MrWrong · 12-29-2007, 05:03 PM

Looks real to me, I seriously considered buying one of these, mostly based on how pretty it looks. I beleive these were recently discontinued, and MF was selling the last ones a few months ago for about $450, originally they were around $600 iI think. Stickers look right.

Regards

Added on edit - I have a Epi dot and Epi Sheraton II, which are similar except the shape of the horns and the trapeze tailpiece.

Man I can see tryin to fake a Gibson but faking an Epi is somethin else,

overdriver · 12-30-2007, 02:36 PM

it is real they did have them out for a while. Epi puts out those susposed CS things and does not put them up on the web site ,Those where in a catologe last year ? here in Canada a person can get a LP special CS in cherry or TV yellow MIK 2006, also seen a Dot with trem CS and a Custom LP with cream P-90s.
