That's a separate argument I see. "It's illegal so it's crap". NOT the same thing.
The place where those things start to cross over is when the quality is equal or better. At that point, you have a legitimate business problem. And saying it is illegal is not a universal truth - it's a point of view that is highly focused on your own borders.
I personally have no ethical problem purchasing one of them. If I did - it wasn't any money I was sending to Fender/Gibson. They missed nothing, and I would never sell it as a real Fender/Gibson. Might even mark it as such.
But I am purely asking / talking about the quality it is. A Squire* Yngwie....at least. Need to get a hold of real one. Or better yet, have Dave play them, because he can!
* Just for you Brandon.
