Re: Counterfeit Alert!
The biggest problem I see these days are budget guitars with these counterfeits already installed. To the layperson, they look legit once in the guitar. Sad...
But if anyone comes across something like this, I urge them to report the seller and/or item(s) right away

Re: Counterfeit Alert!
Well this seller should be brought to ebay’s attention then and this crap needs to stop.
I saw some EMG’s this past summer on a facebook group that had the most obvious fake logo font on the front, but honestly I can see ppl being fooled by that. It was a private seller and I asked him to post better pictures of it but next thing I knew they were taken off the market...
For the most part this counterfit stuff is fairly contained and it isnt an epidemic and the market flooded. But thats how theyre doing it cause its being trickled out there. Like buying a pack of gum with a counterfit $10 instead of a $100...

Problem is: before joining these forums and seeing threads like these I would never in my wildest dreams have thought to check if a pickup was a counterfeit or not. It’s just not something that would have occurred to me.
By the way: have you seen that other thread mentioning the new Kramer reissues??? May as well knock off a few $K off of my Blaze!!! KAPOW!!! LOL!!!

Same here and I tend not to get too caught up in this stuff either but it needs stomped out as it appears.
I don’t pay attention to the new ones so I didn’t see the new Gibson Kramers but Im gonna go look right now...get an old one and you’ll be much happier trust me.
Edit: good job on reporting that masta’ c I didnt catch that part.
