HI, Im new here. But I am actually longtime reader and just registered.

Recently I purchased a used "korean" epiphone les paul online. The sellers swear to God that this LP was authentic (not fake)

But, after trying to analyzed carefully I found this:

fake2b.jpg



The guitar is the second one. And for comparison, I gathered other Les Pauls pics from google.

What do you guys think? is it fake or not? Because the seller even swear to GOD..

It was really hard to convinced the seller that this is fake epi
I really want to return this epi to seller.


Best Regards

Post some close pics of the headstock/body. They will be a little more helpful.:thumb:

But just from the looks of that cutaway, and the location of the top strap button, plus a few other very slight details, I think you might have gotten hosed.

Your best bet is to return the guitar to the seller, then try to find one from a reputible online dealer, or better yet, go to a music store (if at all possible) and try out a few. You won't regret it.:thumb:

Thanks for reply. Because I need a strong proof (especialy from senior member in here :thumb:) for convincing the seller about this fake epi

Sadly, this is the only picture that i had for a moment until she arrived at my home.

Thanks for the link :). I read that already of course.

I just need opinion from experienced member in here. So I might give the link to this thread for him.

FYI, the seller was posting the original pics form google because he did not have time to take a picture, he said "the guitar will be roughly same with that picture" so I trusted him and pay. But of course I make a deal, If I can proof this is fake so I can return the guitar.

Today, he sent me the picture of the guitar. The guitar not arrive yet, but I really shock with the pics he gave to me.

Best Regards

It's not just there to read it, it's there to post in it and ask if a guitar is legit.
That thread was created to keep the Epi section clean from all the "Is this a fake?" threads.

Anyway, from what I can see in that tiny pic (which is not much), it doesn't look good at all.
