Tim Plains Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Even though that almost looks like Billy's signature ( ), it's a definite fake. Who's selling it and how much are they asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quba Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 and how much do you think this copy is worth(for real)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I don't know, find a site that sells counterfeit Gibsons and see how much they want for them. Why would you want to buy a crappy fake anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 and how much do you think this copy is worth(for real)? For real? They aren't sold LEGALLY, so an actual "new" price is hard to establish because 1)people buying them from the wholesaler are doing it to rip poeple off, and are selling them "pretending" they are worth more than they are, and 2)even the "wholesalers" aren't really wholesalers, but are also usually involved in lying to those they are selling to. GENERALLY, I beleive the illegal "dealers" selling from China sell them for about 300 bucks. The quality is usually very low, equivalent to about what you would find in a student model that cost about 99 bucks (if they are that good even). So, if you could get past the stigma of owning a guitar made for the purpose of ripping poeple off (that IS what that guitar was made for), sinse it can ONLY be priced as a used guitar, it would be about half of a comparable retail, so about 40-50 bucks.

GuitarBuilder Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 and how much do you think this copy is worth(for real)? I can't believe the question, but if you must - about $0.05.....it's a total piece of crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cousingrandpa Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 You should have taken a hacksaw to the headstock & lopped off the Gibson logo before you gave it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibepi Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 That is a hideous fake. People are always trying to make money off of somebody else's work. My wife's sister bought a fake Louis Vuitton purse last year. It was so fake, that me, an old man, knew it was fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
