nothing specific, bro. just a general reminder. we sometimes can't help but get back (in any way we can) at people who played us for a fool. we just want them to have it *WHACK!* that kinda feeling.

I might not be an Ibanez guru but I'm definitely an enthusiast! If it's a production model and not found in the catalog, it's not real. there can be limited models yes but AFAIK, only the Japanese can enjoy such benefits. Ibanezregister.com will be your best source of information when it comes to Ibanez guitars.

some of the production models indeed do not make it to the official catalogue eg: spring editions, summer NAMM releases, regional exclusives, etc. but they are still legitimate production models.

easiest way to find out whether it's real? remove the neck from the body and see whether the model number is stamped there. If it's naked then it's questionable.

Still, even if it IS a fake, who cares? As long as you feel it is worth your money. My brandless Strat feels and sounds better to me than to Fenders. And i paid a mere fraction of the price of a new MIM Fender. If you feel this is a worthy investment, because it plays and sounds so good, then, my advice is to keep it... But of course, talk with the guy on how to resolve this situation amicably.
By the way, it's definitely a fake. One look at the headstock says everything. The second thing is the serial. Who the heck would push a MIJ guitar to be an MII one? People would pay more for a MIJ piece.

You wouldn't care if you were tricked into buying a fake product that the seller claimed was the real thing? I fail to see how you can draw an analogy to your brandless Strat that you knowingly built.

i think it's really not a matter of play and feel good so it's ok...
It's a matter of principle and ethics. The play good feel good part is just a consolation that a fast one was pulled on the buyer.
selling honest replica's for what it is might be fine to some but selling a replica passing off as an original is just plain wrong and against the law.
TS: You can practice your rights and bring this case to the police. keep your smses, emails or pm's as proof to the authorities that this seller pulled a scam on you.

Dodgethis: Please re-read the last sentence of my post. Thank you.
The link is in that neither are factory made guitars. but can sound as good, or even better, than their factory made counterparts. By the way, i didn't build it myself.

Why are you even bringing in how good non-factory guitars sound? No one is disputing that. No one has qualms about how great your Partscaster sounds. The issue of this thread is the authenticity of the guitar that the OP bought, about how it was sold as a real Ibanez guitar when it is a fake. There is no link at all. Period. Think of it as you selling your Strat as real Fender when it is not.

^^^Good to hear that. Hope this serves as a lesson yeah? Anything dodgy in the deal, just pull out. It saves you a lot of trouble.
