hey

i was browing lelong.com.my n came across this

what u guys have 2 say bout it?

" We are a group of technician from QingDao Epiphone's Plant. We can do an 95% accurate Epiphone Guitar / Gibson Guitar. Just some parts cannot be label with the brand as the machine is control by other department. But all woods, hardware part inlay is exactly same as the original epiphone.(Only hardware cannot use th machine to make label on it.)"

This is a Almost Perfect Copy of Ibanez Jem 7V Guitar.
1.All detail inlay with mother of pearl+abalone.
2.Gotoh Tuner
3.5pcs Jumbo fret board+ last 4 scalops frets
4.Trackable serial number start with F.
5.Same pick guard as original.
6.Same wood material .

The original of this guitar is selling nearly RM11,000 at
Bentley Music. KL.

Only 1 part unable to copy :

>>Floyd Rose

We only give you the older version, Edge pro Tremolo System

its rm 2300!!

with dimarzio pups

izit worth it?
any 1 tried it?comments?
thx

RM2300 ?

get a 2nd hand JEM555 ...

Do not ever buy copies...copies are for impatient people ..short term satisfaction ...

save up and get a real JEM ..brand new is not RM11,000 ..its only RM7000+ ...you can find a used JEM7V at 4-5k price range too..

not worth to get a copy jem or your interested in this guitar try getting from ebay maybe if your lucky , u can find a cheap jem.

err u really want a copy ma?? if u see other ppl using a real jem beside u ... how would u feel inside ??? absalute gutted.. think bout this... 2.3k for a FAKE thing.. worth it ??

agree with ming...

if u really cant afford the real JEM...
can get a copy but without the Ibanez logo on the headstock to fulfill ur satisfaction...

if u r buying a JEM copy with Ibanez logo on the headstock, that's considered a FAKE guitar...

so think not juz twice, but trice...

do you seriously believe that?

a real edge pro is about RM700, with 2 dimarzios altogether comes up to about RM1200.
the costs of fakes definitely is not more than RM1000.
some ppl who have dealt before said the cost is only around USD100.

so do the math

zen check out the pics section

theres your dream one over there

Don't buy copies and don't support these people. There's no service and literally NO resale value.
Like everyone else said, get a cheaper model (like the JEM555) and you'll be much happier/

. I saw the pic. Its not edge pro, not even an ori edge... A TRS maybe. Hopefully the trem cavity will retrofit ori edge or edge pro

Hmm,if it's a fake,then avoid it of course.How much is your budget? Might wanna consider something from the RG Prestige series.

Hi,

As for me, definitely won't go for a fake.
Rm2.3k for a fake? There's a lot of better range guitar out der.
Otherwise save up like hell.

Cheers...

go for a second hand rg550 if you can. Much cheaper and better than the lower end JEMs.

2.3k if me i buy epiphone lp custom XD..... but if want something close to steve vai... rg series or jem jr lo.... if not look around for 2nd rg prestige.. ^.^

Dear my friend, my guitar is truely basswood body and truely 3 piece maple jumbo fret and rosewood neck.
My humbucker is using korean made humbucker, and part's also not the cheap china parts, if you can supply this guitar with same spec, with in USD100-200 I will buy 30 pcs from you. NO JOKES
Same quality same finishing
Remember to pay the custom taxes for me

Added on July 21, 2008, 7:13 pmFor those who really don't believe what I am stated in my listing, you can direc go to one of my big customer in Nilai,
he is a local recording guitarist and sessionist, is the guitarist in the band " Sakhti"
He even use my guitar to do recording after do a simple intonation. If you don't believe me, can call him directly, and even go visit his studio in Nilai. This guitar has been appeared in many show recently.
For those who really want to know the truth, can PM me for the information.
And, please, be mature, not every China made product is cheap and lousy.
Since April 08, China already start supply wuitar wood body for Gibson USA. (internal info )
If your mind still stay in 90's, you are pity man
Do you know a China branded wristwatch can even cost you a RM80K ?
China made product princip is always follow this rules : "How much you pay, how much you'll get ".
Same product can be as cheap as RM100-RM1000 depend on the material and workmanship.

2.3k for a fake?
NOT WORTH!

get a les paul instead!

imagine ppl saw u with a jem, and they go like:" WOW, A JEM!"

Then they ask u:" how much?"

U say :" m2.3k"

They say:" SO CHEAP!?"

U say:" Fake one la"

They say :" CHEH, fake one, cheap la, kena potong leher la u!"

eventhou u got short term satisfaction, a majority of ppl will look down on ur guitar, cause its...........FAKE

there's no 'accurate 95% epiphone,gibson,ibanez or whatever'
original is original
fake is fake.....
dun buy copy la.....
buy epiphone les paul instead
or if u still want ibanez,go for S470 or SZ320

see u urself just admitted that its not real dimarzios which i stated already.
and of cos not real edge pro.

basswood body and 3 piece maple neck, well basswood is cheap anyway.

the main argument here is not china product is crappy.
it is fake products which im sure u already know is illegal.

custom tax is only 10% anyway, and if u know how to talk u dont even pay anywhere near 10%.

I think copies are fine,but not fakes.If a certain product is so good,why use a big company name?

better make brandless guitar......
than people wont compare

i wanted to buy this prs copy, but i changed my mind.
stick to lespaul, see got any nice mij's o not kekeke.

Hi,

I think if someone is making a CUSTOM guitar, that would be fine.
Not a copy or clone coz u'll still be ripping off from the original license.
Just my 2cents.

Cheers...

Ibanez is just an option of brand name of my guitars, you can buy any guitar from me and put you name too ( Ex: Amoi, MalaysiaBoleh , Ibamez , KLCC... )

You go any guitar custom shop, and custom a same copy like this with yur name, see how much?
If you do business, will you sell your product as your cost ? buy 100 and sell 100 ? You better go do charity
2.3K is before discount, some have bought with me will know my price is actually negotiable.

pandai abang kita cari cover story

I never cari cover story, you can go to see all my listing, I have stated : you can order any custom made guitar.....
All my listing have this... please, don't be so stuborn like a stone...
I do supply my guitars to some big music shop too, some music shop even have over 20 years history, they have order a large quantity with me, some have order the same copy as original but just changed the brand name to their own brand. I am a honest business man. My guitar will soon supply to south malaysia. If my quality really not good, why they still want to order at least 10 pcs from me? Do you think their experiance is even less than you to justity on a musical instrument's quality ?
I am really have no anger with this argue . One day when you really grow up , you will understand....
Anyway, I do appreciate you guy's comments.

ok la...
honest businessman or naive businessman?
u said at first u were already bluffed by ur supplier who told u they were original and not copies.
i hope ur also not ignorant of the law.

there is nothing wrong if u get the factory to put some other name on it.

but for the copies, they are termed as stolen property as they are infringing on a trademark...and that of cos can be prosecuted by law.

just fyi, there was a meeting a few weeks ago in singapore...singapore being the distribution hub for authorised gibsons and epiphones to asia.

and some sellers of pirated guitars locally were brought up, including u...

what will happen later, well all depends how corrupt the govt here is in pursuing the matter...

microsoft obviously pays alot of money for raids to happen...if the main gibson guys get pissed enough...anything can happen.
