Thundergod Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 It says right in the description is a copy... "for sale: this absolutely beautiful gibson les paul slash copy. this is an identical spec model to the real thing its so cheap because it was constructed in a cheap labour country. " So...yeah... Thanks for copy-pasting part of his description' date=' the auction is down now... It really pisses me off how people is willing to post sh-t like that... "this is an identical spec model to the real thing its so cheap because it was constructed in a cheap labour country" Ok, someone go there and ask that guy what pickups are in there... ask him about the hardware that POS uses, and about the wood... about the wire used... the electronics. How can they be so ignorant and imbecile to say "its an identical spec model to the real thing" do they even know what they are saying? I have battled fake sellers locally and 99% of the time they will say whatever they can come up with to convince you it's a real gibson, once you have made clear there's no chance they can fool you, they start giving you just that "ok its a copy but it has the les paul tone, sounds and feels like a real les paul, it even has the same pickups and everything else, they are cheap just because they are made by chinese kids instead of american pros" I hate those people! (I cannot really say it loud enough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Totally...THOUGH at the same time, he was upfront with it and no one would have purchased it if they were looking for "the real thing" right? I guess its a double edged sword.... Fakers are suckers....i will buying my first Gibson from an authorized dealer...in person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
