Fake Chinese Gibsons, as opposed to Chinese made Epiphones (That's Gibson) of about the same quality. The line is getting a bit blurry there. And Chinese build quality has bettered itself over the last few years. I've done this several times already with a different Chinese-made "fake" copy of another manufacturer. I don't see the 80%-90% value difference in the higher priced original after I've done my upgrade magic on the thing. There may be storm clouds in trade with China soon. J Mo' |
