I'm going to buy this, but I am questioning it's authenticity.
Who thinks it's fake?

I'm not hip with current ESP's, but it's not like current production models.
ESP did have a custom shop at one time. -
the headstock looks a funny shape.Comment

No volute? I thought they all have volutes... also... odd control cavity shape. Of course, one could argue that all ESPs are fakes.-------------------------

From a quick glance the M-II, ESP logo on the back, cavity cover all look dodgy to me...Popular is not the same as good
Rare is not the same as valuable
Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to getComment

I have no doubt that it is one of those Chinese knockoffs. Hell the site is even formatted much like the knockoff sites. there used to be an advertisement right here on the JCF for Chinese Gibson knockoffs. This is the same deal as those.I live on the edge of danger facing life and death every single day.....then I leave her at home and go disarm bombs.Comment

bombtek beat me to it - Chinese fake.
In other news, "it's = it is"
so you need "its" here:

Its funny that every one of these knock off guitars seems to come from one of these "whole sale" sites that looks like ebay. Bottom line, if its not on a known legit site and is claiming wholesale, than it was probly made by a 6 year old Indonesian boy for a half bowl of rice and a fish head. Seriously, if we see see the words "wholesale" and the guitar looks funny, why do we bother asking if its legit, it obviously is a slanderous fake from a country that doesnt give a damn about US patented material.HTTP 404 - Signature Not FoundComment

Its (yes I did it again) bad enough I gotta use the shift key so much for capitalization, I dont fret too much over proper grammar. When I speak, I dont say it apostrophe s, I say its. Theyre called context clues. You should know what I meant by the context in which it was used. ; )Last edited by Twitch; 05-20-2010, 07:53 PM.HTTP 404 - Signature Not FoundComment

The thing is, in the corporate world, written communication is a very big factor in how far you will go. I've routinely had discussions about peoples' careers and their inability to perform particular roles because they can't write. In twelve years in finance I haven't met an executive with poor writing skills.
Keep in mind, this may have no bearing on how much money you actually make.
But hey, the world needs gas station attendants, too. At least until the oil dries up.-------------------------
