Hi and welcome here @ €piTalk


What makes you think it could be a Fake

 

[eS.G.]

Howdy and welcome.

Doesn't look like a fake to me but it IS a refurb.

Maybe, the truss rod cover it´s not original, but the serial number is an adhesive, why????

Its a "second" or Refurb. My local shop sells Epi and Squire/Fender refurbs purchased from a big place up North ......they buy the ones cast off by the manufacturer that don't pass inspection....fix them and resell as "refurbs" I have owned several, my Wildkat for instance was a refurb.....had no issues I could find---worked and played great and I saved about 25% over new first run goods.

If I remember correctly, the refurb company is MIRC.

YEP thats the place. they do good work really. The local Mom and Pop buys from them and retails for about the same $ as a new guitar at G.C. ---its the only way they can compete he claims.

Either way ... gives me GAS
