Tim Plains Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Is this a joke or something? It's almost the exact same backdrop as last time. I future, I'd just tell him it's a fake and not explain why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I future' date=' I'd just tell him it's a fake and not explain why.[/quote'] Yeah. The concensus is, that it's not real. I think the best thing now is to let this thread drop. Of course I realize the irony that my comment just bumped it up once again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemoon Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 It might be fake, but at least you get a set of new Fender strings. That's a pretty good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXE® Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Just a thought here , Every time we point out the discrepancies on these fakes , all we are doing is telling them what to improve upon for their next run , My advice is to have them contact Gibson directly . We as a community can help the ones we know are legitemately looking for advice , The others . Not so much ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont get it... lots of people complain about Gibson not including any case candy with their guitars... but seeing this... Fender strings man... Gibson sure knows how to make their customers happy. There you got have it... people whined and Gibson responded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemoon Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Papa, if you include the fake bush and the soiled bed sheet, I will buy the guitar. How much do you want for the package? $15? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I wonder if this is the same guy. Wonder what he was thinking...

Given that the packaging is all wrong for the strings I'm sure they're as much Fender as the guitar is Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 You mean the sticker that comes on every new Epiphone? Yes that one! I thought those stickers only came with the higher end imposible to buy epis of which Gibson make copies... glad to see they are now putting some of the good stuff on Gibsons too!
