how do those fake EMGs sound like? its just a fake cover over some passive pickups right?
btw, how much? someone is selling them in Malaysia for RM2000 / $870.
 
yup the emg's are passive but not the real thing too.Sound wise, good enuff for me.I was more concerned bout the construction & playability & this one really impressed me alot especially the maple fretboard...love them!
 
what i'm afriad is finally happening..pple are bringing in MIC "Gibson"...if they post it on auctions..den trade for real ibanez or fenders..those bro not careful enough might get cheated...must be careful when trading in the future...
 
u gonna agree that the gibson looks pretty real right?..if those beginners..save like 700 800 for a mid range guitar..thot pple use a gibson trade with them..cfm kanna con lo..thats wat i think..haha.. :(
 
that one can tell its a fake even by the gibson logo.

the last real good replicas i saw on ebay were about 3yrs ago.
this one gibson really chased after him.
this guy from the UK modded agile (i think) LPs, added on wings to the headstock so its the right width etc then inlay and repainted the headstock.
stuck in seymour duncan pickups too.

he did post to say it was a replica, but gibson still went after him, tho he did manage to sell a couple off before that.
 
hey akira. how sure are u its maple? and how do u check if the construction and everything is good? really sincerely interested to know.

cuz i know the ibanez copies by those china dudes are seriously pathetic.

bro i have no comment bout your post.It's for my own personal usage lei that i gotten it.Tink anyone who wishes to trade any of their guitars is pretty much up to their discretion to do so la.It should be their own responsibility to be wise with their decision.Maybe you can start a thread showcasing fake guitars to warn the newbies. :wink:

hey bro,to be honest i'm no expert whether is it maple or not but it looks maple to me :) construction wise like my previous comments,it feels & play like what a guitar should be to me.Maybe a luthier would be able to do a good QC on it & give comments.Seen & tried the china ibanez copies,YES THEY'RE RIDICULOUSLY PATHETIC.Hahaha! :lol:
 
bro then those made in china guitars brand like epiphone how?Even ibanez is now made in indonesia.Arghhhhh...nuke indo too?
 
thing is, its at least original ibanez made in indonesia. the FAKE china copies are usually crappy.
worst come to worst, start buying J-custom ibanez's. :lol:
 
i wonder about these two on ebay now.

this one, based on the serial number is a 2005 model, and not a 1976 '57 reissue as claimed.
also the first '57 reissue if im not mistaken was released in 1992.
