It has a "genuine Gibson" bolt on neck too.

I reported it as a counterfeit.

Lebarque

Buy with confidence, safe in the knowledge that he does accept returns. As long as it's still in its original condition of course.

That's the rare Collectors' Choice "New Jersey Mafia Special", authentically dredged from the bottom of a river.

Ah, you beat me to it! Quality job.

But guys, it has the all important upgrade of new knobs

Why do they hate T-Basses so much?

My personal favourite is the Strummer one though. Joe had sandpaper instead of skin on his right forearm, who knew?

It isn't though. He says himself it's one of the Baldwin series  LPs. They might be complete shit but they are a Gibson product, although god alone knows why Gibson agreed to put their name on this pile of steaming crap. They're infinitely worse than an Epiphone.

Well he added that bit later after my reporting it.

But it was still a Gibson beforehand. He might have been slightly coy about what he was selling but it isn't actually "counterfeit" as such.

A bit of googling reveals this joker to be an architect in Swansea. I'd love to see his plans for a "lovingly relic'd" house extension.

Someone on here said relicing is art, and I agree it is. Much like painting a picture.

This is art, but you can imagine it was painted by a 5 year old. Think back to your primary school days when the classrooms were plastered in crap artwork. Dogs with two legs and facial features loving applied with the largest brush in the tool box, sand painted whatever yellow poster paint came out of the bottle, etc. etc. 

Unfortunately this was probably done by a 20, 30, 40, even 50/60-something and is being presented as acceptable. Even with some pride. I just can't get my head around that.

And yet somehow it's got 15 bids on it already. Somebody must like it. No accounting for taste but I don't get all the hating for the seller tbh. Yeah ok it's a crappy job but nobody's being forced to buy it.

I think this is one of his most recent and innovative designs.
It's got a new doorknob.
