fake cd's and fake guitars are different...
fake cd is just the same as ori cd's, only illegal...

fake guitars are just not the same as ori guitars, in terms of quality and sound..

Well, fake CDs crap out on you faster...

And those crappy song lists... Sheesh!

i have a few pirated cassettes thats like 20yrs old...and it plays better than some original cassettes from that time

LOL. Most of my original cassettes died too. Maybe they were using bad quality cassettes for recording.

Now the fakes are everywhere, how saddening.. Maybe in a few years time you'll see Gibson everywhere until you get sick of them.

there are way more fake ibanez and fenders out there, cos they're easier to fake

mmm
some dude is like sending PMs around bout the fake gibson [at least he states its a replica not trying ripoff some poor dude]

is it just me or the headstock shape looks more believable now
zzzzz

the give away is the rosewood fretboard tho

Yeah I got pm-ed too. Did anyone tried them?? If they're cheap wouldn't mind getting one of them but they're all over 1K...

whos the guy pm'ing?

A guy by the nick of biglovebijou.

thats the same guy who was selling the fake gibsons in the garage sales, and the fake ESP KH...
his thread was closed, maybe now he wants to be banned

this is quite critical and could set a precedent for 'replica' items. blacktrix, appreciate ur feedback for the benefit of others.

anyway, to strengthen our case on possible banning action (subject to clarification on the above), I received the same PM from biglovebijou too.

fake guitars of cos are not allowed.

from the rules...
Imitation goods of any nature; and any item or service which infringes an intellectual property right of another person.

If anyone can PM the copy of the Message, I will report it back to the Admins and give this guy another warning.

well..i just feel..

the more fake copies around ..especially Gibsons LP ...

the more valuable my guitar is it is so badly wanted , until people need to fake it

" i have the real thing , yours is garbage " kinda thing...

the FAKE Jems around...make me GAS for a real JEM

blacktrix, ugpm

Got it. Thanks man. Stuff is going to go DOWN!

have to resurrect this.

i've never believed fake epiphones existed, until i saw this today at one utama.


look at the black one.
the purple one at the back is the glitter LP which is genuine.
compare cutaway, knob positions and headstock logo

the serial number also is EE03******* which means MIC 2003.
didnt know they had MIC so early.
the truss rod cover is also wrong, as that one is from 2004 onwards, but that can be changed.

Are they really that bad? Maple fretboard in a non mahogany bodied Les Paul, shouldn't it be pretty interesting?

Bad news on the Epis though. How much is that thing listed anyway? Listed the same price as though they're real Epis I suppose?
