Fake Iron Cross on eBay

He has it listed as a relic Eclipse, but even at that, it's still wrong.

Just a heads up.

I've always wanted an Edipse 

 

Pushead

That's one of the big tells.

Road King

 Seems legit.

He has since removed it due to an 'error' in the listing. Perhaps he got wind of his 'mistake'?

Pushead

Yeah, I sent him a note this morning.  He replied that he'd look into it and not long after, pulled the auction.

Hello,

I don't like to be the person to tell you this, but this Eclipse is a fake. I don't mean it's a fake Iron Cross $10k model, I mean it's not a legitimate ESP Eclipse. It's among the better fake ESPs I've seen, but the biggest tells on the guitar are the "Eclipse" logo on the front of the head stock, and the lack of markings on the back of the head stock.

A traditional Eclipse (even a 4-knob "lawsuit" version) would not have the iron cross inlay near the 12th fret. The size and shape of all the inlays are incorrect, as is the truss rod cover.

There's no need to take my word for it, but compare the guitar to other ESP guitars on the site, or ask as the ESP forum.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I'd hate to see your 100% feedback score ruined by selling a counterfeit guitar. I suspect you may have been scammed by someone trading it in.

Sorry for the bad news,
Phil

Fair.

 So this is in the town right next to mine. I'll check it out tomorrow if it's still there. It's undoubtably fake but I want to see how bad it is.

It's back, but at least it's listed as a copy.

looks like it's already down again

Pushead

I reported it again.

Big Daddy B

I reported it again.

 

well he was getting closer. Maybe next time.

 Perhaps if he re-worded the title a little bit more instead of just inserting a tiny 'copy' in between bold all-uppercase words.

We should send him a tchotchke prize if he tries for a 5th time. Maybe a set of China-made 'DearAddario' plastic strings?

Spoke too soon, it's back it seems with yet a slightly different title- http://www.ebay.com/itm/FAKE-COPY-ESP-ECLIPSE-LP-STYLE-DISTRESSED-BLACK-PRE-LAW-SUIT-EL-GUITAR-GOOD-COND-/302223990170?hash=item465df41d9a:g:kFYAAOSwqM1Ym6kK

Am I correct in saying that this is his 3rd attempt? Gotta give him one thing, he is persistant.

Guiguitarz

Let's give him a Grammy. #NotARealEclipse @ Road King
