"Sold Out". I wonder if anyone here on TB has any experience with this maker. (Copier?)

I especially liked this bit:

"it is inevitable that there will be some blemish on the guitars. When selling this kind of guitars, you can transform this disadvantage to advantage, you could tell your customer that every guitar has its unique outside and tone colour . It will be well!"

In other words, they prefer to think of all the flaws in their products as "character"

I would bet they are telling the truth when they say each one is unique.

Nudge nudge, wink wink, knowwhutImean?

They're bogus illegal copies, cheaply made in a Chinese sweatshop. Not real Gibsons, and not even "legit" Chinese Epiphones.

From what I understand, the bass in the pics is probably legit. Your's will look nothing like it.

"the density and width of every piece of wood is different. So, it is inevitable that there will be some blemish on the guitars. When selling this kind of guitars, you can transform this disadvantage to advantage, you could tell your customer that every guitar has its unique outside and tone colour . It will be well !


hahahahahahahaha!

I do feel sorry for those guys though, trying to make a living doing the best they can with the communist crap they're given. It's actually kind of sad, really.

THIS, however, actually looks like it's pretty decently made!

The "musical instrument" you receive will most likely be a total unplayable piece, which looks nothing like what you "bought".

You will not be able to return it for any sort of refund, and all of this is assuming you receive any goods at all.

Sometimes it actually works out.Viva fishing-reels are supersweet and Cayin hi-fi components eats American/European stuff costing 4 to 5 times as much for breakfast.Both are Chinese companies run by Chinese enthusiasts...
