that one looks like a fake...that's fooling many people.

 

headstock looks a bit 'off'

one tuner is crooked

serial was stamped after the 'finish' was put on

angle of the top strap button

stickers on pickups (the 'designed by gibson' stickers are only on epi's iirc)

knobs are not positioned properly...not even close

strange inlay that aren't on any gibsons i know of

 

 

unrelated for a minute, but

that guy is such an idiot, although some of the questions in his auctions are amusing.

See what happens to a half-way decent forum when the morons take over?

 

I can't believe this thread hasn't been restickied, I've had a few dozen totally fake auctions to post, but I refuse to participate when the admin is obviously obtuse to REAL issues...

 

Hopefully some of them get a chinese knockoff for X-Mas, or even better yet one of the fake vintage guitars selling for big $$$ that are know flooding SleezeBay.

 

Cheers!

if these are all 2007 models with EE prefix, how can they come from


wouldn't they then have different serial numbers?



Depends on if the guys are working on the side and they don't want these showing up on warranty later, thus avoiding setting off alarms and losing their day gig...

Anyways, regardings the thread getting un-stickified, is that cause that moron BatoffMan got banned? :confused:

What did that fool do btw, anyone know?

are from a seller quoted two posts past and i didnt figured out if they are fake or real. Can you help me out on that? Im from Brazil and a black beaty is costing the equivalent of $1500 here, so that would be a great deal.

Thanks!

If you go to the site qouted on the pics in those ebay auctions:

 

http://paylessguitars.com/

 

And read the first line of text:

 

"We have our own guitar factory and we can make any kind of guitar with any kind of logo you want."

 

I think the answer to your question should be clear.

They got some nice stuff up there. Thanks for the link, time to make a few hundred dollars on ebay......jk

 

 

You said it! Time to stop giving money to the mega-corporations and their overpriced instruments! Time to save money! YOU BET... NOT KIDDING!

 

A glued piece of wood, with another bolted on piece of wood that has some wires embedded in it, a couple of coils, wires, pots, knobs, lacquer and a brand name emblem on the end of that long stick with the funky looking doodad markers on it. 6 metal strings tightened across the whole thing, a little set-up here and there.

 

Pluck, pling pling... sounds good... .. WHAM for you? $3000.

 

No more buddy... Getting some nice guitar to hang on my walls from dem' dere' chinamen!!! If someone breaks in to my home, all they'll get are a few fakes.

 

Win win situation if you ask me.

Auctions like this are why this page should have remained stickied...


Fake Fender CS neck


:wave:



So if a guy's guitar gets totaled and he salvages just the neck and decides to sell it on ebay, all of you are going to jump on his case and call him a liar, a thief and a copyright infringer? :cop:

Looks to me like you guys either don't know how to sell on ebay or simply are frustrated and just want to ruin everybody else's auctions and income. :mad:

GET A LIFE, ALL OF YOU. :idea:

LOL, sorry if you can't tell that's a total fake with some cheap CS Fender stickers on it - Some people should just play Agiles and leave the rest of us that know *TONE* alone :freak:

Fake Zakk Wylde Gibby, and a bad one at that.


I've reported it last night, sent the seller an email informing the scum that its illegal and will be emailing the winning bidder, depending on my mood I may even give his local boys in blue a call.

 

 

 

good work!!
