budget bassist Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) I know this is BASSchat but i don't want some poor sod to lose out. This guy listed a [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/gibson-explorer-electric-guitar_W0QQitemZ280216078482QQihZ018QQcategoryZ33040QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]'gibson' explore[/url]r and it's clearly an epiphone gothic with the headstock and front shaved. Can a few people report this just to make sure it comes off please? i don't want someone to bid on a gibson and recieve an epiphone. If anybody is unsure it's clearly an epi gothic because of the ebony board and inlay. Now look at the inlay, only the epi has the XII 12th inlay as in the listing and [url="http://cachepe.samedaymusic.com/media/quality,85/brand,sameday/p17356h-55b168bf6928eed61fe3afcfdadf4d64.jpg"]here[/url]. The [url="http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/2379/geghj6.jpg"]gibby gothic[/url] has a half-moon with a star inside it. and again [url="http://www.gibson.com/products/gibson/Limited/img/GothicExplorer.jpg"]here [/url] The guitar in the listing is also clearly much lighter than mahogany as the epi gothic explorers have spruce tops, the gibbys are solid mahogany. So be nice and report it? please haha i feel a bit sorry for the bidders Edited April 10, 2008 by budget bassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) Yup! And tell the seller that you're onto him, for all the good it'll do. Edited April 10, 2008 by neepheid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarxide Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) The best bit is where he says it's based on the Ibanez destroyer..... Collection only. I have family near Truro, may be they can go round and laugh. It's also got three screws on the truss rod cover which is a quick give away with auctions like this.
