guys,

found these on the net:
http://www.bazaarofchina.com/index.php?cPa...ae4486756a6c54a

http://www.paylessguitars.com/

make sure u guys check out the left-hand column for specific brand. all listed for around usd300 (i think it would be stupid for somebody to settle for an epiphone rather than a gibson. same price maaa....).

this is very alarming. its getting harder to differentiate the originals from the imitations. china FTW!

Better change the topic title......
Yes, I know it was as a joke, but other moderators don't see it that way.

China

Those guitars look like 'Gibson', 'Fender', 'PRS'.. Probably some plywood crap

Last chance to change the topic title before this becomes a closed thread!

aiya... why so strict one? i guess one can put whatever topic name that he wants, as long the contents have nothing got to do with sales? been foruming few years already (mostly international forums), never encounter this. iirc, the rules & regulations of LYN do not permit any classified or sales related thread/post in forum area except in garage sales thread. as u can see, my intention is just to share the links on fake guitars. the WTS tag is just a joke and u also did get it... cannot have fun at all meh?

ur interpretation of the rules & regulations are sooo different & i don't get it. care to shed some lights by directing me which part of the rules that say i cannot put WTS sell tag here?

anyway, i hesitantly edited the topic name. for me, no harm done coz i have no interest at all. not trying to create hoo-haas or what but as a normal forum member who has no special power attached like you mods, and always subject myself to warnings, suspensions or even bans, i guess its justified for me to argue ur decision. i know u r human being just like me and subject to mistakes.

i would like to reiterate that ITS NOT THE TITLE BUT THE CONTENTS THAT MATTER!

Sigh. I share your point of view. Unfortunately some moderators don't......
I don't LIKE to be strict, but company policy man....
Again, I apologize if I offended you or anything..... but (as cliche as it sounds), I'm just following orders.....

wow umm, this sounds alot like the idiots who destroyed BC Rich's reputation.
Quality Axe (wow uh, the name is kinda dubious) revived in china.

blactrix, i'm not offended la. no prob at all. just trying to put things rite. i'm sure we r matured & professional enuff to handle this. so long as everybody knows their do's & don'ts, i'm sure we can have a happy place to stay. let's move on aight!

hhaha..sounds like an excuse for me jk jk

My gawd, why would anyone replicate Squier, Epis, Michael Kellys?? The T5 looks awesome btw. I'm not sure if they're really available for sale though, any rich guy wanna give a try? They look good as decoration as well.. heheh

haha those stupid mainland china f***s...
those pics and specs on that bazaar site are all taken from musiciansfriend.

noted opfish. Thanks for understanding......

And is there a way Gibson can Sue and shut down these sites???

I'm getting really PO'ed with these chinese imitations!!!

gibson sue also no use.
of cos only if it happens in the US then they take action.

other than that, only buy from authorized sellers.

Someone should just buy one, and disect the guitar. See whats inside. lol

haha pening man!!
may b they can try con wit plywood les paul selling 2k USD
haha

That is what the wrote on the first page of the site.

China people are just way too hardworking.

I think if shipping was any cheaper, I could put a Flying V as decoration on the wall Or a Strats with a fake Eric Clapton signature

they are selling it in sg for sgd$550 thinking of getting for fun. they have the gibson zakk bulleyes, etc...etc.. come with hardcase and from the pic posted look like the real thing.

That's because most of the pictures are ripped from Musician's Friend

going back sg this week and going to arrange for a try out will report back when i have my hands on it
