    I've seen an ad for a 'hollow body electric jazz Epiphone copy'. It looks budget, similar body shape to a EEJP (but gretsch style tp and no scroll at end of fb) and has Epiphone with the Gibson font on an open book headstock. Wondering if the seller means a copy of an Epi or an Epi copy of something else.
    Any one have any ideas?
    Cheers

    My vote is for "copy of an Epi". or more precisely "weird looking thing made by god knows whom with Epiphone written on it."

    Looks a lot like that.

    that’s junk

    Epiphone made great copies of Broadways, Casinos, Byrdlands.

    I have seen copies of Byrdland’s made at Terada that had gibson headstocks but these were for the Japan market only.

    Cheap Chinese guitar with home-shaped headstock and Epiphone sticker. Not an Epiphone.

    Bull's titties.

    That said, at least the seller didn't attempt to ask for £2200...

    It's so kind of those Chinese factories to make it so easy to spot a fake. It looks heavy just from the photo. I love those F holes. I'd be tempted to get this just so I could hang it on a hook outside and use it as a classy birdhouse. Hey, Birdland! What's not to love?

    I'll bet those F holes make it SOOO easy to install the electronics into this guitar. Full harness in one pop. Brilliant!

    Amazing to think that someone invested time and energy in creating a fake epiphone
