No doubt there are good products coming out of China.
No doubt they have the low-cost edge.
That's their strength right now. We're all watching the formation of a superpower, if not THE superpower.

Now, most consumers do care what they spend their money on, that's true. The problem arises when some spend it on a fakey Gibson, thinking it's a real one. You may think, serves them right for falling being duped, but the Chinese will get better. Fakes will get harder to detect. I can't imagine what'll happen to the market when that happens.

It's just sad to see beautiful guitars copied like this, and passed off as real ones.

no matter how good the fakes get, once you play it you will know its one.
and for guitars like gibsons, its just not feasible for them to do a fake with the correct woods.
its much easier to fake a brand like ibanez, as you can use generic woods and they can pretty much pass off as real.

anyway, i just got back from yamaha at the curve.
i tried all 5 set neck MIC LPs, 4 standards and 1 studio, they had there.
goddamn all of them were so light, 1 of them even had a chip at back of neck showing bare wood.
maybe whoever wants can go get a nice discount on that.
and i got them to check the price of the epi tony iommi SG if they do bring it in.

read my post carefully.
where did i mention that they were fake?
all i said was they were very light.

silverburst and ebony fretboard overrides the big pickguard.

Pix is at france???
