Woah, and I thought fake Gibsons were bad enough. Now they want to copy Epis as well?

The pirates are getting really low

well thats why they do it. People are more likely to buy it thinking "oh its just an epiphone, nobody would bother to buy it"

also another pirate method is increasing the price so that people think its real
