Cestrian Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Is this genuine? Looks different to other photos of the same model online and I heard there were a few fakes around: https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/gardiner-houlgate/catalogue-id-srgard10264/lot-a2e40995-a868-4dd8-ac65-b117011ab5b4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 There seem to be some variants in the photos online but the one in the auction looks very much like the one in https://www.guitar-list.com/vox/electric-guitars/vox-winchester. If you look at the comments, it seems it would be quite difficult to tell what was a fake as any old neck was put on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cestrian Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 That’s really useful, thank you. Also, I’m guessing a reputable auction house would ensure authenticity prior to the auction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I can tell you that among the lots was what was described as a Variax 700, but I knew it was a 500 and let them know, and they have adjusted the title accordingly. So I would think that if anyone could show it wasn't authentic, they'd put something to that effect in the description, although I have no idea how much checking they'd do into the genuineness of the item themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
