Riffster Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 The price is low, I am sure the guy knows what he is selling, how do you like the "it has everything in the right place" comment? Freudian slip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnstaf Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 The inlay pattern on the headstock looks like it was done by a child. Maybe it was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstar232007 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 There is no such thing as a "good fake"! They ALL share the SAME crappy shape (the signature of Chinese counterfeiters), the SAME crappy construction (wrong materials), and the SAME low prices (if it's too good to be true...).

LarryUK Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 My point was that the truss rod cover had 2 screws not 3, Gibson logo looks in the right place etc. You lot might see it straight away. But if you follow 'how to tell a fake' instructions. A young player could fall for this. What I'm saying is, They are getting better at copies and it won't be long before someone on this site will fall for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
