Ouch ... buy a Tele
I got a kick out of this place selling blems and damaged product (they don't hide the fact), but the wording is a bit of a stretch.
This guitar has a couple minor blems, that can be fixed, or just LIVED WITH in present condition. The head has a scuff as shown in photos. The neck/fretboard connection has just the HINT of some separation (I truly think every epiphone guitar does...in my opinion). The guitar tunes and plays perfectly like it is.
So, every Epi looks like this
so they must build them that way, because it couldn't possibly be due to the cause of this:
Credit for openly pointing out damage and flaws, but using lame excuses like that

This has to be their words, right?Originally Posted by just strum
: That line in Red is absolutely a total crock of BS. Maybe it's true for every Epi fixer-upper the place sells, but that's just plain crap....The neck/fretboard connection has just the HINT of some separation (I truly think every epiphone guitar does...in my opinion). The guitar tunes and plays perfectly like it is.

I think the only degree of separation in question here is one between the seller, and reality
