If customs get ahold of these they destroy them.

I started around 1976 on a Gibbon (SG model), a Japanese Gibson copy... and even that got stolen...

About 3 yrs ago I walked out my back door on to my deck and a large box was leaning against the railing. I knew from the shape of the box what it was and all the labels aside from my address were in Chinese. I was stunned because I had ordered nothing..

This was inside. It's a pretty decent Lester aside from the electronics. To this day I have no idea how this happened.

Fang Fang must have LOVED YOU!!!!

No idea who Fang Fang is..

I was just thankful that someone sent me a free guitar...

At that point in time it took some of the sting off of our label's shenanigans..

No they won’t.
It’s not illegal to buy or own them.
It is however illegal to sell them .
All mine had these foil stickers

over the headstock name decals when they arrived.
I bought mine out of interest and for a bit of fun from an eBay seller and they will never be sold on.
They are in the process of being modified .

USA destroys them, so do the Uk and the EU .

A guitarist friend that I've known for a coupla years showed up for a gig at one of the same places that I often play at. He had what looked like a single pickup Black Beauty LP Custom with a wraparound Lightning Bolt bridge. I knew it was a fake but I liked the look of it. He let me play it and it was a pretty good sounding and playing guitar. He knew of a guy who had another one of them, so I ended up buying one. It needed some fretwork and a setup to make it play smooth and I had the pickup, pots, jack, nut and tuners changed out. It plays really slick and sounds great. I get so many questions and compliments about this guitar when I play it out.

The last one I saw even had fake Grovers( real ones are bad enough) it was a total trash pile but I have seen a couple that were as good as Epiphone . Very risky to buy one you can’t see first. Customs may keep it ( depending where you live ) and even if gets to you it is a total lottery with no comeback.
Also if you don’t want the price of real gear going even higher this shit should be avoided.

Yeah...how dare you guys enjoy stuff ...the gall.

 

[Dave Lewis]
