The New FAKE Epi thread

[Tobymanhattan]

Incredible luck ! Bravo !
How much did you sell it for at the time ?

I actually traded it for an 80s Japanese Strat. Checking my email, it was 4 weeks later that I tried to buy it back. I can't believe I found it again after 5 and a half years and by complete accident. And then questioned the authenticity on top of that!

Cool story, and a beautiful Rivi. Congrats

I'd say it is. I doubt that there is a lot of Epiphone G400 fakes out there, not worth the money.
That Silverburst is in the price range they usually sell for.

Thanks a lot! I just didn't see the silverburst option, I was looking for grayburst. Happy Holidays!

Looks like someone just added an Epiphone bigsby to a standard lp.
I'm not the expert, but I don't see anything that raises any flags.

Yeah but no tailpiece holes though, also it is epiphone branded "bigsby"
And it looks like he doesn't know how to string guitar with bigsby let alone install it

yes, looks like an early 90's model. I'm a big Epi brand bigsby fan and you can make it look stock if done right;

THATS FOOKING GORGEOUS!

Guys,
Eyeing this 2010 Honey Burst. Being new to this, it "appears" to be correct to me from what I have recently learned from all of you. That being said, I'd appreciate your opinions.
Thanks again for your assistance.
Randy

Just a few pics of a Fake Chibson...

A fitting end, I must say...

Please check my epiphone whether it is fake or not, the store guaranteed it is 100% original, however the serial is blank. Bought it with market price.

Hi,
welcome here @ €piTalk


The guitar looks legit, judging by the pics,
though it is strange that there is no serial#
it could be kind of a special run like my DR200CE was
and the serial# sticker felt off

mine was a special run for thomann.de - that explains the T-serial# to me

What about a factory 2nd?
