A friend of mine saw a "Gipson" and said: "You can only play the Plues on that"

I had a cat named Furby and I would call him my Hossenfeffer. "Where's my Hossenfeffer? Bring me my Hossenfeffer!"

Know a guy who bought a cheap Chinese "Legend" PJ to use for parts but loved its punked-out vibe so much that he got a butterfly sticker from a dime store and now has a one-of-a-kind CLF (Chinese Legend Fodera)

The two best (worst?) I've seen were a "Gibsun" and "Fencler". Both used carbon copy logos, and looked very close to the real thing. The Gibsun had only a small piece missing at the top of the "O", making it a "U". The Fencler from a distance looked like the "cl" was a "d", but you could tell up close.

Some original Gibsons actually have that O with the missing piece too. So that's not really a very good example ;-)

I built this bass and gave it away.

It's hard to tell, but this guitar from India is called "Givsun". Funny thing it's a strat.

This post reminded me of this amusing Gibson guitars ad from the 80's. Check out the names of the competition at the bottom:

This company also makes "Rockinbetter"

That's Tokai.

Mine's a custom build by fellow forum member 'Drummer on Bass' from Ottawa.
Hence the maple leaf on the TRC that I made.
Rickenbacker 4003 bass build

I have this early 70's MIJ Gession. Rumoured to be made by Tokai. Other names included Gaban, Gallan, Gibbon and Ganson.
