The New FAKE Epi thread

[Blind Dog Melonhead]

I know we've established provenance, but here it is, if anyone's interested (the site will finally let me post pics).

Those splotches are some sort of solvent/glue damage and they run about halfway down the back. You can't see it but the strap button by the neck is actually wood screw about 3" long. I intend to document the refurbishing and will before and afters here...

Thnx.

Indeed. I come from the long line of Melonheads that settled the Lake Poopenpantzen region. My daddy is on the Board of Selectmen there, and mama's the town curtain-twitcher...

Really ? Wow ! Must have big Pow Wows over there. I should come and visit some day

hi guys,

What do you think about this one? The seller says it's a Les Paul Standard

 

[Paruwi]

What do you think about this one?

We need some close-up pics to make a call

Possibly for the best.
I don't buy guitars from randos online. I have to touch and hold an axe to know if there's any magic there. Been that way since day one.

Hmmm, I must be rusty at picking out fakes. What’s wrong with it?

 

[Paruwi]

What’s wrong with it?

• Big fat EE-serial
• rounded studs
• glossy neck
• big tuner washers
• white not ivory

and some more

the signature from Zakk is probably faked, too

where was this shiney guitar hidden for 10 years

The guy has 4 of them for sale, but the other 3 seem legit.

Yesterday I messaged Reverb about it. There must be a way to contact eBay for it ?

 

[Raiyn]

Orange one looks fake too.

There are ppl who buy his shit for 2k? Wow... Even if it was legit, Wylde is still alive... it would be cheaper to get one, fly over and have him sign it.... Also what's with the paperwork?

If i wasn't on a shopping spree for parts, I could get a buzzsaw for 350€ locally...
WTF is wrong with some dudes...

 

[Raiyn]

Also what's with the paperwork?

Applies to the signature from what I can tell. Damn sure ain't for the axe.
