Members ArKay Posted June 15, 2008 Members Share Posted June 15, 2008 But why not make the most profit margin? They'd have to sell way more Epi fakes than Gibson fakes to make the same dosh. Given that what they're doing is illegal in the civilized world, there should be a lot of pressure to be as efficient as possible. I remain unconvinced. PS-- and my original question remains unanswered-- why is this guitar suspect? The Gibson & Epi fakes cost about the same to make and are sold at the same prices as well in the shops. Heck, I have to be careful when I buy cigarettes there It doesn't make sense for us, but that's the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GreatDane Posted June 15, 2008 Members Share Posted June 15, 2008 I got my first Gibson LP a few days ago: nice classic. How are you liking it? i had one in ebony (black), but never could bond with it and ended up selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Davgar97 Posted June 15, 2008 Members Share Posted June 15, 2008 nice classic. How are you liking it? i had one in ebony (black), but never could bond with it and ended up selling it. I'm really liking it at the moment. I was originally going to get a Standard but when I tried the Classic something just felt right about it, i only had to play it for a few minutes to know that it was the one that suited me perfectly. What did you replace your Classic with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members axslinger Posted June 15, 2008 Members Share Posted June 15, 2008 Lots of other people would disagree with you. Why spend $5K on a single guitar when you can have a batch of perfectly fine ones for the same amount? More's the merrier.I'm pretty sure that Gibson discontinued the "'59 Historic Mother{censored}er" anyhow. It was replaced with the "Historic 59 Cocksucker".

I suppose I could always start an awesome band that sells out huge arenas and sells millions of records, therefore earning money from guitar playing, but it sounds like too much effort (nothing to do with the fact that I'm not talented enough, honest!).

Members pongki Posted June 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 do they all sound hugely different? different? yes..hugely different? maybe not...but when you're collecting the sound factor is number 2..number 1 is just collect them, sometimes just based on the colour.. the red one looks fake? probably but I don't care..got it for $ 190..for that price I'm prepared for everything Instead of fake, I think it's some kind of reject product or something that didn't pass the QC,that the staff sold it through the back door. It is made in Indonesia...and I live in Indonesia...so...there's a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
