I'm just trying to understand what would be the point of a fake chinese GIBSON . If you wanna add some points i might not understand , feel free .
- The chinese copy are clearly not Gibson , you can see the finish being a poly ( most of the time overuse like all korean / china guitars ) and the binding have no nibs etc... ... so basically we can all agree that the chinese copy are closer to Epiphone than Gibson ... so why not just buy a Epiphone on craiglist or a store ... at least you can try it before buying it for nearly the same money as a fake gibson .
- You order from a warehouse in china and give 350 $ basically in the dark expecting a product in return . If the product is defective ... how much would it cost to send it back to china ( IF they would take it back ) . Id rather make business from a company like AGILE ( rondo music ) who are legit and are in the u.s . I once had problem with marks all over the fretboard on a Agile 3010 ... i contact the rondomusic .. they gave me an RA and UPS pick it up and send me another one .. all free of charge . Would the chinese counterfeiter have that kind of return policy ? i doubt ... they dont run a legitimate business .. theyre probably hidden somwhere in a warehouse .
So my point is im not discussing if american made is better than chinese made .. im just thinking that a legitimate business in china probably put out of the factory better quality control and better product that counterfeit item .
So buyers of FAKE gibson are buying because the headstock says GIBSON ??? is there a prestige in owning a "GIBSON" ? more than another brand ? gibson have 600 $ guitar .. theres no prestige in owning a gibson guitar .
if i have 350 $ to put on a guitar .. id get a epiphone or agile or another brand before sending 350 $ in the dark in china and expect something in return . the factory could be raid tomorrow and you lose your 350 $ . Call me crazy for paying 1800 for a Gibson at least im sure i have a product in return .
*** everything counterfeit ive seen yet was far from the quality of the original .. IPHONE , , ipad , wireless mouse , nfl jerseys .. everything was crap . the real iphone is made in china and so his the counterfeit .. but its night and day difference . the NHL red jerseys were turning pink after one wash , horrible . Counterfeit product are always junk .. why would it be different for guitar ??
