IS THIS A FAKE JEM/UV??... here (& only here) is where to ask & discuss

[courtney2018]

I've told the bay police about this one 3 times now. They ended it the past two times, but they've let this one go on for whatever reason.

Here's something good for you to do this morning while you're eatting your cereal - see if you can figure out what's wrong with this guitar. Kinda like a Find Waldo puzzle.

This is a korean copy of the original ibanez uv777 steve vai signature...as stated by the seller ...at least he admits it but shouldnt advertise it as Ibanez

Sorry to double post this, I posted in the stickied topic before i saw this one, and since this one has much more recent replies, I'll quote myself;

Then i just got paranoid about the fake possibility because nobody else bid on it (even though there was interest, there were 5 or so questions).

The item number is: 330149692553

Things that make me think i'm just being paranoid;
-The price isn't low or anything, a new 555 costs £665 at my usual guitar shop
-It isn't coming from china, in fact it's from here in the UK, about 50 miles from me
-He's said OK to local pickup
-The description seems legit
-He hasn't shyed away from close up photos showing some detail (for example DiMarzio engraved on the pickups, would a fake have this much detail?)

Anyway you guys are the experts, could you let me know (i haven't paid him yet)?

Thanks

Yups it's an exclusive fake, like he claim LoL, he just took the back of the guitar to confuse people. The guitar routing for the electronics gives it away.
