fake as in.... they create a copy and say its an ori....  made in china doesnt mean it a fake... it just the company want to use cheap labour.... if a fender, some day decided to establish a factory in china and produce a made in china fender, it still an ori....

yes, u r right!! the company using cheap labour!!! even fender nowadays made in china!!!!!!!

QUOTE(flamestudio @ Sep 15 2010, 01:02 AM)
True true. Made in China doesn't mean fake. Almost everything is also made in China under licensed now. Even Epi. Thats why now very difficult to rectified. Even sifus find it hard to rectify it. Damn.

there r a lot of copy guitar in china, meanwhile there's some ori which made in china n inspect in u.s.

QUOTE(PVCpipe @ Sep 15 2010, 07:12 AM)
certainly doesnt use some cheapo truss rod, wood, machines, which usually fake does

that's cheap toy, not guitar!!!!!

Bro regarding what u say, i just wanna post a video of gibson vs epi, but it is not about which is the best, just for reference of china made qualities, i think epi is decent quality and worthy the price, no offence for epi users okay  biggrin.gif . Epi nowadays made in china rite? n slash gibson lp in this video i believe is US made, can hear a lot of different, of course if we have enough money, surely buy a real gibs....enjoy the video everyone....btw im a fan of chappers, his videos always full of information...salute him  notworthy.gif

as i know, there's a factory helping gibson in china!!!!!!

we technically are starting it already bro biggrin.gif
we should put it like this ;
a)the name of the store
b)what brands they sell that are fake.
c)how did you identify them as fake(just so noobs can look out for the signs of a fake guitar)


but contributors,remember something,a fake guitar means for example,a seller selling an epiphone,but it's not a real epiphone.looks and specs are similar,and the branding on the headstock they show off as an epiphone.

that is fake.

All the guitars here all ridiculously cheap..
How not to know that it is genuinely fake?..
LP's are harder to spot but the Strats are just comical..
Their tuners give away the impression that is a 'original' Fender Stratocaster.. tongue.gif

Tradetang has the reputation of selling fakes. Some of the pictures on the site were taken off genuine posters/ebay/forums etc.
There were loads of complains buyers not receiving the same 'pictured' guitar they saw.
Anyway if something is too good to be true, then it is. Be wise and nothing comes without a price. wink.gif
