I wanted to buy a guitar for my 24th birthday recently so I started searching online to find out if there is such a place where gears are cheap but well made. Finally I arrived at that great place: www.online-guitar-store.net, where I bought every piece of my axe, including a bonus: a free guitar case. what made me more pleasant is that the guitar they delivered to me sounds so wonderful that my friends began to ask me eagerly how I got it. I told them, and later decided to share it with more people. I'm not a salesman or anything like that. I just hope everyone who likes guitar as I do should have his/her favorite guitar with an affordable price. |

$700 seems kind of expensive for a chinese fake. I think the going rate is about $400 with case.
Or perhaps counterfeit is the proper term.
I always think copy or knock-off is an imitation but not something trying to say it is the original, but instead, as good as the original. There are lots of Les Paul and Strat copies.
I think fake and counterfeit are terms for guitars trying to pass themselves off as the real deal.

Agreed. counterfeit is no doubt more accurate.
If you plow through the broken english on their web site they do say:
"Online-Guitar-Store.net provides you with the widest selection, including Gibson Guitars, PRS Guitars, Fender Guitars, Jackson Guitars, Hamer Guitars, Ibanez Guitars,Music Man Guitars and more."
another page says "Our guitars are Fab replica high end guitars, they are very good value for your money"
The danger is when you buy something on craigslist or ebay most of us cannot tell if we're buying a fab replica or the real deal. It's also interesting that the original poster's first post on here is to promote that web site and his post contains stylistically similar english ...

Not sure about the legal ins and outs in the good ole U.S. of A, but in Canada it is a federal offense to even possess counterfeit merchandise. If it is detected at Canada Customs it will be confiscated and destroyed. Buyer beware...

If it is detected at Canada Customs it will be confiscated and destroyed. Buyer beware... Chris Chris -- It is illegal to posses counterfeit merchandise here in the USA. There are always stories on the news about people being arrested and detained for selling counterfeit Coach and Louis Vitton purses! I think it is best to steer clear of products like these -- just my opinion. Good luck, John |

I'll give them credit for switching to two-screw truss rod covers. That used to be the first giveaway.
Of course they could be using pictures of real Gibbys on their site......
