Here.

Apparently, "Custom made in a small factory in china to spec"

Whatever that means.

    Shame it's not advertised as a Gibson, or I'd be considering buying it then getting a refund from Buyer Protection and "destroying" the guitar cos it's counterfeit.

    If you look at his recent feedback, it's for Chinese PRS knockoffs, etc.

    Jeez, £150 off Aliexpress, then sold to some UK mug for 3 times the price - a nice markup if you have no scruples.

    price is always an issue but its probably a very decent guitar -they get better every day .....the only wrong thing is when they try to pass themselves off as the real deal and some poor unsuspecting customer ends up ripped off
    The quality of some of the legitimate Indonesian Fenders is quite remarkable for the price because the new generation machinery and C and C equiptment is state of the art .......some of these Chinese Guitars ( not all ) are made in EXACTLY THESE TYPE OF FACTORIES  - a lot of people forget that intricate consumer electronic goods,far more important than guitars are also being made in the same environment ( Apple, Nokia etc dont award huge contracts to companies that will make them a laughing stock worldwide )
    let alone PC manufacturers ,domestic appliances ,car parts for prestige brands etc 
     Its only the trademark rip-off that makes it unpalettable

    It's the bullshit that I can't stomach - it is what it is - probably a good guitar for what you would pay from Aliexpress (or very likely more)*.

    But I just don't like sellers addling a layer of fluff to somehow suggest that the presence of a (ripped off) logo confers some amazing status upon it.

    *I've owned around 7-8 Chibsons and some of them (once set up) have been very good indeed.

    At least this one is 'honest' i.e. not trying to be passed off as a Gibson, and it actually looks quite decent.  But the price for an 'unknown' such as this is nonsense - you're better off buying a Tokai LP and having a resale market (btw- Seller is in Friern Barnet, London N11 - just a couple of miles from me).
    I started out with nothing..... but I've still got most of it left (Seasick Steve)

    Because they have to cut corners to meet the price point. That's what they are, half decent knock offs built on the cheap.
