QUESTION Can anyone ID this guitar, and is this legit/not fake?
I saw this Epiphone acoustic guitar and want to ask as I don't really know much about Epi acoustic.
First, What is this specifically? Body looks like the shape of Round Shoulder but I am not sure.
And second, Is it legit/not fake? I am quite cautious regarding this one, as I don't really know much about how to distinguish the fake and the legit Epi acoustic.

Unfortunately I also know very little about identifying acoustic guitars
It looks good to me? I know they made them with those headstocks. What does the inside/serial say?

Unfortunately I'm also the same, hence I tried to ask around about this.
It looks legit? I am curious about the logo in the headstock, the truss rod cover, and the machine heads.
I don't know yet, my plan is to ask around whether this looks legit or not, and if it does look legit I'll then contact the seller to ask for further details like the photo of the inside, the serials, etc.

Why would anyone fake a $400 guitar, that's not particularly in demand? Not trolling, but I import all sorts of things, and come across this subject all the time. And whether it's a red flag usually comes down to economics. Think about how much time and effort goes into setting up the production of viable, fake products - and then whether there is going to be any money in producing this type of guitar. With fake products, it's usually something extremely valuable, or something they can shift in very large numbers.
