Members Kramerguy Posted January 8, 2008 Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 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. For some reason, I was actually surprised to see this at the bottom of the page: Copyright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wrathchild1 Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 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? 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. GET A LIFE, ALL OF YOU. Watch it man!!!! I tried saying the same thing to these guys.... You'll get PM's with name calling, and they will try and get you banned form the site.... Then make fun of you non-stop on this thread. Not all of them are bad guys,,, just WAY to much time on there hands! If you REALLY take a look at this thread you will find a number of people with legit E-bay auctions that have been taken down,, Watch I'll get smashed for posting this...

I'll simply ask you this: do you think that custom shop neck he was referencing was real? If the answer is yes, then perhaps you could explain to me why it sold for less than the Mexican 57 RI necks? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members id-man Posted January 17, 2008 Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 If you REALLY take a look at this thread you will find a number of people with legit E-bay auctions that have been taken down,,Hmmm, musta missed those. If I had more of this time you claim the proponents of this thread all have I'd go back to the (one) incident I can remember and refresh myself. From memory it was a seller who railed like a mofo that he'd been falsely shut down but couldn't produce pictures of the guitar in question or what he'd claimed about it. Though shrouded in mystery, to paraphrase the prevailing sentiment at the time, if it even happened, it was acceptable collateral damage in the struggle to clean up the rampant abuse of that site. If the seller was indeed innocent he could take a clue and relist the item with better photos and clearer description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad this thread is being relegated to the dust-pile of history, as it may have actually saved a member or two from making a *BIG* mistake :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alex_SF Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 Here's a pretty obvious fake Joe Perry Boneyard LP. The S/N corresponds to a legit 2004 Boneyard, but the finish is wrong, the headstock shape is wrong, the logos are wrong, and the bridge has screw-slots in the adjustment posts -- all signs of a Chinese fake. I've alerted eBay and Gibson, also contacted the seller, and am watching the auction to warn the winning bidder if it doesn't get shut down.
