I have no idea where my guitar was produced in the world, or if the company was telling the truth, that they had the model on MusikerMesse in Frankfurt, or whatever it is called, and now was selling it in an auction starting at 1 euro. In all honesty I'm fine by it, as I got it cheaply, it plays and sounds fine (of course it's no $10000-guitar). That said I have not in complete awareness had one of these fakies in my hands, so I don't know how they feel or play, but they could be all right. But unfortunately if they started a company of their own they probably wouldn't sell that well as trying to cheat people You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I assumed the neck was a fake too since i thought there were some oddities about the headstock, especially the logo. The neck is definately fake too. Compare the flower pattern on the first fret of the real deal and the fake one.... the fake one has crooked leafs.... It's all wrong. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

(more copys then real ones for sale ) They did say in the add that its a copy, but still it has Ibanez logo and design and such, isn't that very illigal? I don't get how they get away with this.

No dude, it doesn`t that it`s a copy. I`ve fought with the guy over email to change it so it lets people know and he said `No it`s real, but thanks for the heads up`. He`s just trying to pawn it off on some kid blind over a good deal. If he sells it as a copy for $700 good for him, but at least he would tell whoever buys it. The way he`s going it is so greasy. I hate people like that. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.
