   I think that is the kind of cord that you should hook it up to or what it is made out of!!!

   Depends on what you paid. Fender makes several grades of guitars, from cheap ones Fender – “Squire Affinity Series” to real good “Fender USA” models. Epiphone’s are Gibson’s cheaper brand. They are usually of pretty good quality and about one half the price of a “real” Gibson. I play bass and have a Fender “Made In Mexico” Jazz bass I love. I also have a Fender “Made In USA” “P” bass. I have a Gibson “Grabber” bass and an Epiphone “Thunderbird” bass. I won’t say there are not quality differences, but to be honest, unless they are a professional musician, it probably won’t matter. They’ll just be glad to have a new axe!

   You should have Make,Model Name/Number,and a serial Number on the Receipt.
   If it was a New instrument,,you should have also received owners manual and warranty registration form,etc

   I realize it’s a hassle to open the GiftWrapping,,,,
   but if it was ME,,I would want to know.

   Without any specific details of the deal it’s impossible to know if you’ve gotten what you paid for.

   The price difference between the 2 brands can be substantial at each grade/level for “comparable” guitars.

   Up or Down a grade can be a LARGE difference

   Fenders are typically a bit higher priced.

   Just as one Example:
   If you PAID for a Fender,,and were given an Epiphone,,it’s possible you overpaid.

   If you Paid for an Epi,and Got one,,,,but thats Not what you wanted,,,,,then that’s just “Wrong”.
   And if somebody is expecting a Fender for a Gift,,,they’re gonna be disappointed.

   I’m sure it’s all an Honest Mistake somehow….
   But I think it’s worth the extra effort to resolve the issue & any questions you have in your mind.

   Good Luck,,,I Hope it all works out well.

   Happy Holidays!

   Epiphone is imported by a company named Gibson. Fender is either imported from different countries or built in the U.S.

   They are NOT related in any way. Actually, an Epiphone is generally a better guitar, but if your guitar says Fender and the receipt says Epiphone they screwed up at the shop one way or another.
