Got the USA headstock, but it doesn't have the fine tuners on the tailpiece, and I've never seen a Stealth with a rosewood board, only ebony. Neck looks way too wide too.....I've had the Stealth and it's got a 1.625" nut width...only thing I can find that looks like it is one of the Aliexpress Chinese copies, but I'm not an expert.

The pic is blurry but the headstock looks off or something??

Looks weird.

Thinking same guys. The thing that threw me off was the board at first; never seen a Stealth with anything but ebony. Figured if it was real I could grab and flip, but won't bother. Too many red flags. GC has it listed for $550 and I know the USAs go for at least double.

Thanks!
 
Headstock is wrong. Way wrong. Location of the tuners is off. No rosewood. Only ebony form the EVH team at this point. And the bridge is wrong. Definately a fake. Maybe they think it's a special? Maybe they know it's a fake?

Yup. First thing I saw was that headstock.
Pass it up. ;)
 
I think I saw that on GC's used site at one point. It's definitely the aliexpress (poor) copy neck. Probably on a genuine body from Stratosphere though.
 
I called gc about this one last year. It is a CONFIRMED fake by EVH brand, in which I did all the leg work between them and EVH brand, and they never pulled it. They always do shady shit like this. My local gc (attleboro) has a fake seafoam green Jem and it took talking to their DM to get them to pull it. Then it was back a few weeks later with the ibanez logos sanded off and listed as a "custom" guitar for $600 lol. I showed them Aliexpress it selling the fakes for $200 and they didn't care
 
Fuckin dicks. I thought about calling them later this week when I get some time but now I won't waste it. Idiots.
