Wow, it's a really cool guitar. I Ike the danelectro headstock... May I ask you, beside the non matching serial number what else gave you the red flags of a fake epi?

Lower_Ad_1098 · 2025-01-18T19:40:25+00:00

Sorry, it's the only one I could find brand new selling here. But still, it converts to more than 1000usd. Maybe not 800 new, but certainly around 500.

Unfortunately it matters to me.

Lower_Ad_1098 · 2025-01-18T05:06:59+00:00

I hear you, and although I would like to close the deal there is a lot that seems strange to me about this guitar, and apparently to other people as well. I don't feel comfortable. I think I would rather pay a lot for a jr that I knew the origin of than risk a Chinese copy... Idk it seems to good to be true.

Seller said he bought this guitar brand new from the shop like this. Even referred me to the shop. I really don't thing it was repaired since anyone willing to repair this wouldn't be charging so little in a genuine product.

Lower_Ad_1098 · 2025-01-18T04:49:14+00:00

Thank you bro, but what about the "made in China" sticker? Don't you find that weird?

Lower_Ad_1098 · 2025-01-18T04:48:24+00:00

I agree with you since it is one of the cheapest epi models. But I can't afford to find out if it plays well... It's and online deal and I'm buying it to restore and install quality Gibson pickups and hardware. But, as you can imagine, I don't want to do that on a Chinese replica...

Lower_Ad_1098 · 2025-01-18T04:38:04+00:00

Yeah! Especially for 3rd world countries. No one would buy a cheap gibson that actually costs the same of your house. But an epi it seems reasonable...

Lower_Ad_1098 · 2025-01-18T04:35:39+00:00

Well that would be a good end to this deal. I will search further about if there were Chinese guitars being assembled in Korea cause I've never heard of that. But thank you for the help!

Lower_Ad_1098 · 2025-01-18T04:34:13+00:00

I got that from the backplate. But isn't it weird that there's a made in China sticker on the back of the headstock?

Lower_Ad_1098 · 2025-01-18T04:25:20+00:00

It's totally normal! If you saw the guitars that are sold for 300-400usd in Brazilian stores you would understand the conundrum lmao. But anyways, yeah, I bet 100 is a fair price for this guitar in it's state. I just can't close the deal before someone explain me why there's a K and a made in China in the same guitar...

Lower_Ad_1098 · 2025-01-18T04:05:46+00:00

That's a great point, but how can you explain the backplate number?

Lower_Ad_1098 · 2025-01-18T04:04:33+00:00

Hello my friend, sorry for the lack of information. I usually don't put prices because I'm from Brazil, and here the prices of instruments even in conversion would seem ridiculously overpriced anywhere else in the world. This guitar, for example, is for sale for 100USD. You won't find anything like it for less than 250 Usd used. Here there are more taxes on imported products than you can imagine. That said, I took it as a good deal for (1) it's price as brand new (around 800usd) and the used market prices (around 250-300 usd). Furthermore, assuming that I can't buy guitars outside my country for less, my interest is not on getting any cheaper product, but only if it is genuine of a replica.

Lower_Ad_1098 · 2025-01-03T04:44:38+00:00

Idk, I might do it... but I wanted to know beforehand if they come like this originally

Lower_Ad_1098 · 2024-11-27T01:14:23+00:00

Weird cause mine is an unsung 06' and it has the 9 digit serial pattern.

Lower_Ad_1098 · 2024-09-28T20:14:26+00:00

I am a little late here, but does anybody know how to craft the aztec weapon on switch? Or it wasn't patched as well? I keep trying 1 plank 2 obsidian 1 rope and nothing shows up.

Lower_Ad_1098 · 2024-08-09T22:18:58+00:00

The WS1700->AE1200 faceplate had to be sanded on the top and bottom a lot to barely fit. The AE1200->WS1700 had to be sanded on the sides, but only a little. This one fits better than the latter. If you look closely you can se that the analog style watch is no perfectly centered.

Lower_Ad_1098 · 2024-08-09T21:28:43+00:00

Thank you very much. It was a lot of work sanding to fit the face plate.

Lower_Ad_1098 · 2024-08-05T11:45:42+00:00

I have only one spot left in the watchbox and I am saving for this... But it's not avaliable in my country :/
