Now it is in auction, starting bid 350.- Looks like Gibson label has been copied, too. I guess I'd choose the real thing, the bourbon http://www.huuto.net/fi/showitem.php3?itemid=46924490 Juha Goat Username: Goat Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Wednesday, February 07, 2007 - 12:37 pm:    What exactly are you meaning has been copied? This is an expensive/very rare promo model (unless I've missed something here) exactly like several I've seen pictures of here in the US. Where and how can I get ahlod of it? I'll pay what they're asking right now!!! I can't read a thing on that page, lol. I've seen a few, sale prices were pretty outrageous being as they're custom shop models though. I'm not going to say what I've seen them go for because this one isn't even remotely in the ballpark of those. This is a tiny fraction of what I've seen others like it go for, but if it is on auction then it sure won't stay affordable long! Surprised to see any of these made it overseas! I forget what year it is and how many were made, I don't keep up with Gibsons so much these days.

GIBSON COPY Description: FINE Gibson copy has had made in a factory in China!! these are available only by having made." I tried to translate something like 'special order from a Chinese factory'. That is: according to the seller this is a copy made in China. I should have written in my first post: Looks like the Gibson *logo* has been copied, too. My question was: Who has these made?/Who makes them? This auction item has been closed. No bids. The seller is veto666 at huuto.net (Finnish auction site, not an email address). Hi/She has listed this Gibson copy three times and had FS-ad on an other site. If it is not a copy the seller doesn't know it.

(If you do a copy with someone elses trademark, I guess that IS a forgery) Those have been around, as you can see from one manufacturers homepage http://www.chnzde.com/Description/jt/index1.htm you could easily get a LP Supreme or Z.Wylde signature as well as JEM with all genuine-looking details.. So why not Jim Beam LE model.. The asking price for that one was 550 euros, quite pricey for a guitar of dubious origin.. However, it is illegal to even a private person to sell a known forgery...although that occurs everywhere. Have you forgot the eBay offerings: real cheap guitar, steep prices for post & packing... One manufacturer, the Aofa-factory, has cleaned up their homepage, they had also all kinda JEMs and Gibbys..those JEMs have been also in some thread here in ICW under a serious debate..

Juha Talajuha Username: Talajuha Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Friday, February 09, 2007 - 7:40 pm:    An other "Gibson" for sale. The seller tells it is HB (Harley Benton by Thomann?). Asking price with 25W Fender amp is 300€. It has Gibson logo on it. Juha
