Fake guitars seized

How could one even expect a Chinder Chintocaster or Chibson to have the same pristine quality and craftsmanship of the real deal when China cannot even manufacture a decent potato peeler? :?:

They have over a billion working peelers
you just have to feed them

China is great at making inexpensive copies. Innovation, not so much.

You are trying to be funny - but you can't pull it off without including some truth.

I own 2 Eastman archtops - Chinese made. Absolutely world class jazz guitars. Will kick Gibson's ass into the weeds for a third of the money.

+1 on Eastman. Mine plays/sounds as good as anything made elsewhere in the world.

According to how it's written, no. But in the real world - slippage.


I have a good friend who is a lawyer. I told him life would be so much simpler if law was cut and dried. He smiled and said, "We write law to be ambiguous for a reason.... to be interpretable....". And then I said, "Shakespeare was right - Kill all the lawyers". The bastards make it messy so they will always have jobs.

In the real world it depends on what your laws are. There are 150+ countries on this planet. One of them is ours. Contrary to popular belief, we do not rule the world or write the laws.

Remember when you said that about Japan?
Remember when you said that about Korea?
Remember when you said that about China?
Know how you say that about Indonesia?

Remember when ONLY a Gibson was "GOOD ENOUGH" because I do; the 60's.

If it sounds good, and feels good it is good. It may or may not be expensive.

 

[Demanic]

Which is all well and good until you try to deceive someone else into paying you more for it.

And almost 2 years later we are STILL waiting to hear it.

All of you guys saying modern Gibsons and even all Gibsons are substandard are on crack.

 

[ehdwuld]

I love my Gibson
i changed the hardware and pickups
cuz that's what I do
But its still a Great Guitar

I like my Ehdwuld branded guitars
Even if the design is derivative
Again pickups and hardware
Cuz thats what i do

Typically people that make this comment do have a Gibson or have ever spent quality time with one. They are just repeating internet retch.

 

[esandes]

You'd know all about retch.

 

[Securb]

You'd know all about retch.

I just agreed with you?

 

[esandes]

As you should. Apparently all of the multimillionaire guitarists who can use any guitar they want choose Gibson because they're fan boy posers who don't know quality....as opposed to basement dweller cover guitarist throwing rocks at airplanes who clearly know what guitars pass their muster and approval.

Dude exhale

If I could get a Gibson for $400 like Securb did, I certainly would.

Next time I stumble across something I would happily give you a heads up.

My LP Standard is a Chibson. I like it.
