KL Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 It truely is sad that companies / people make and buy fake guitars on purpose because of how cheap they are sold for.If you cant afford a Gibson guitar' date=' then you don't deserve to play guitars[/quote'] That's quite a statement. First of all this guitar is not a fake. It's a Gibson, but it has a few interesting issues we have been discussing. It's clearly a beautifully made high quality instrument, in addition it is not cheap.. Second, and more importantly, I personally think it is a very wrong and unfair thing to say "if you can't afford a Gibson guitar then you don't deserve to play". There are many people in the world who cannot afford a Gibson guitar, but they all deserve the opportunity to play an instrument if they wish to. Furthermore there are a lot of people in the world that cannot afford their next meal, never mind a Gibson guitar, but they DESERVE every chance in life that each and every one of us has.

TommyK Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Can't speak for the other 'irregularities', if that is what they are, but I remember discussing the dot attached to the G on this forum, years ago. I seem to recall that when the logo was a decal, the dot had a habit of falling off. The solution was to graft it to the G to help anchor it. I've worked with decals (self adhesive backed vinyl applique), and an extremely small decal, like this lone dot hanging out in the middle of nowhere had a hard time staying adhered to what it was stuck to. In the blown-up/enhanced headstock shown above I detect the hint of a dot's shadow.... or I've got dust on my bifocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAMELEYE Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 "If you cant afford a Gibson guitar, then you don't deserve to play guitars." Come on folks, relax. It's kinda like "Only a Gibson is good enough." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eds111 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I recall a person posting on this forum a couple of years ago, that he bought a 185 TV and it did not have crosses. It is possible that it did not have the correct bridge and is still a TV. I guess the best way to find out would be to get the serial # and call Gibson. Other than the crosses it looks like a TV...
