JefferySmith Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 http://www.gibson.org.cn/index.php?gOo=goods_search_list.dwt&gcat=3 It ain't so. www.gibson.org is not Gibson's site. It is a ripoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonk Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Every guitar is the same price. Theres a Black Beauty and an S310 (SG-310?) bot are the same price? Seems kinda odd to me. I did a WHOIS SEARCH (NETWORKSOLUTIONS) on that domain name. Came up with nothing. Did a google search. Came up with this page (one of the 3 results) : http://www.reranch.com/reranch/viewtopic.php?t=19629&sid=090b2760e7453567c8064ed3b9e3c9b8 The email address seems suspicious (among other things) : www.gibson.org.cn@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwillow777 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I wouldn't buy one, it looks bogus to me. Probably coming straight from China, if you even get it. They have a hotmail email address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 NOT! You know the old saying: "If it seems to good to be true, It IS!" Pink borders on a guitar site, are suspect enough....LOL! Much less the same prices, for completely different levels of guitar models. "I say, NO, NO, NO!!" CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubstar Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 nice bridge on this joe pass...I guess the wood carver didn't make it in from the forest the day it was made LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 The pictures are of real Epiphones; at least the Zakk Wylde looks authentic. Unfortunately the buyer will be receiving something... a little... different. gibson.org.cn... now there's a new trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubstar Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 that joe pass isn't real..they have a floating rosewood bridge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubstar Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 also, take a look at the fret markers and the bottom of the fretboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheX Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 that joe pass isn't real..they have a floating rosewood bridge... Nothing on there is real, it's a .cn site. Hello, McFly...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uz Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 @hotmail.com is not an Email addy a reputable company would use.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubstar Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 "Nothing on there is real, it's a .cn site. Hello, McFly......" no sh*t, sherlock, as the saying goes... rotcanx made the point that the site was using photos of "real" epiphones to fish for buyers...I made the point that the joe pass photo doesn't even show a real one based on the fixed TOM bridge...

TWANG Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 I thought they were pretty obvious copys.. going by price alone.. of course.. you figure that was in pounds.. and the shipping would be severe. but hey they make you happy good luck deal, sailor boy!

Muskank Sally Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Check the 'Ace Frehley' model. It has a headstock with a hard stamped serial 'Made In USA' LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larkin38 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Pink borders and a while to load the site. Looks like the Chineese Les Paul`s that were on eBay a few years ago for like 6 bucks and 200 bucks shipping. Anything too good to be true is not true! Beware!
