Model names for cheap clones

Sign in to disble this ad
In the Krappy thread we're tossing around the idea of calling a violin-shaped bass the "Hasselhofner". You could always call an off-brand Les Paul a "Les Raul", especially if it's made in a Spanish-speaking country.

Other ideas?

Nah, the Les Paul would be the "Less Paul".

Of course, you have those Chinese Dingwall copies named after that great Imperial Chinese dynasty's greatest construction project, the Mingwall.
