With a lot of intellectual property law, stuff will only be protected (and infringements enforced) if it makes economic sense. In this case, I’d say that Gibson could get this website closed down with a relatively small payment to their lawyers (a simple cease and desist letter) and it would make sense for them to so.
There is no phone number. Happens a lot with designer fashion goods.
Shame on the counterfeiters though. Tut tut.

Good point about the moulds, but Aria have them, Ibanez have them (or at least they used to). If those clones are made in China I would bet money there are Epi and Samick 175’s (correct shape) being made in literally the same factory, probably by the same human beings.
