Members cbc83 Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 Seller says its a "studio version of the Zakk Wylde sig". Never heard of it. No results from Google. Seller wants next to nothing for it. No better pics available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members _pete_ Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 Looks fake to me. The Gibson inlay is not angled right. The tails on the G and N should be in line with the strings.The biggest issue I see is the bridge. It's mounted perfectly horizontal. A tuneomatic needs to be angled so it will intonate properly.

Members vcnyls Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 Fake $3 bill? - Yep, pretty sure it's a fake. Angle of a inlay and bridge angle aside, every Zakk signature has EMGs and some terrible design on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pekelnik Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 Never saw anything like it. The bridge is weird like pete says. No idea why would they counterfeit such a strange guitar though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angle of a inlay and bridge angle aside, every Zakk signature has EMGs and some terrible design on it. I figured it could've been a refinished ZW camo - it'd be incredibly retarded, but who knows?The bridge is a dead give-away, I didnt notice that. Thanks guys.

Members ashtray Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yeah but it's different looking. If the price were around $200 I think it would be worth it. Expect all the parts to be very low end and the body to be laminated plywood. If it turns out otherwise then it's a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vcnyls Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 How much is a very reasonable price? If you like it, pull the bridge and toss a bigsby on it - fixes the intonation problem and gives you a new option (assuming it's a well-built copy).

Members orbm1 Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 That is not that cheap.... it is for a custom, of course.... but I would not spend that much money on a fake... you are talking 700 us dollars? and if you are, and still you think it is very cheap.... HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU GUYS MAKE in Denmark??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU GUYS MAKE in Denmark??? You've got it backwards, it not how much they make, it's how much US-built guitars run. Much pricier outside the US.

Members ExiledCrow Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 If it was reasonably well-built I might hit it for $200 or so and have a beater single-cut ... after I sanded off the "Gibson" references. Not for the price they're asking though .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cbc83 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 OHHHH.... for me! too expensive for a fake! Some perspective:A normal MIA strat costs 1660 US dollars new here. If you want a car, you can always get a USED Ford Mondeo, a couple of years old, for 36.000 US dollars. If you want a 60 square meter apartment in one of the larger cities (more than 250.000 people) within 10 minutes from center, expect 250.000 US dollars.A person with a 5 year college degree can expect a starting salary of 5500 US dollars a month. Which is very nice. Then take away 40-50% for taxes Its a great country if you take away the rascism, but its not good if you got GAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
