Hi all - I've been studying the threads on fakes and this one looks kosher to me, but before I bid could I get a second (third, fourth etc) opinion from one of you in-the-know guys please?

Big love!

sournoteowl · 04-04-2011, 06:14 AM

look fellows there are severasl sites selling only chinese guitars, counterfit american guitars,gibson,fender,prs,epiphone. at the moment i am in the philippines,anything posted here is expected to sell for a fake price, when you post a real one, they start rasing hell why it costs so much, so i left the price high,and told everyone where to go buy cheap fakes at lesser prices.
beebuyer.com has all makes and kinds of counterfit guitars, as stated above, i have even been told there are shops here that have a few real american guitars,aftr you buy one that take it in back to pack it real nice for you and then change it to chinese fakes,leave the store then it is relatively to late to do spit about it,but they always get there money first thing before anything,they are every where they are every where.
why cant they be stopped at the border for bringin in counterfit items like they do clothes and tennis shoes,yea dh gate sells alot of them to, that advertisment came up while i was writing this reply on my les paul forums, they are counterfits big time also.

Did you read the listing?

"It lookslike new, not even a single scratch. Incredible White Beauty, Excellent and amazing sound, perfect Gibson replica with 3 Original Hambucker pickups!!! 57 calssic; Bridge pickup, 57classic plus is the Middle pickup and 500T neck pickup.

Does clearly admitting it is a replica clears him of any hassle with pissed-off buyers?

Not disagreeing that it's a cheap knockoff, only wondering how flexible e-Bay's policies are when it comes to plainly announced fake goods.

The 'Ask seller a question' function has been changed. It may not even be possible to warn people it's a fake.

Just think of it as a "Fake Epiphone Thread", but for Ebay.

not allowed to sell replica or fake on Ebay it is a trademark infringement, an Ebay violation

I have no idea what the hell an R-1 is, but it sure looks like an early-80s invader to me.

EDIT: I take that back, do you see the 2 extra holes in the lower bout, and the expanded backplate cavity? Confused...

I see wrong fret size (and no nibs). The serial number on the back is a dead giveaway, it's all wrong. The wood grain on the back is a species of Mahogany that's only found in Aisia.

I know, I could tell it was a fake before the picture even loaded.

I was just pointing out the various grammical errors that seem to be a staple of ads for fake Gibsons, which are pretty much "cut and paste".

There are various different ads (from different sellers), that use the EXACT same descriptions for different models.
