Hi whoa man the neck is screwed on but it isn't center, hope Fender will stop these guys soon. A shame people making copies incl. with brand name.

i've reported them, so whatever that will do

but ebay doesn't always yank auctions when you report them--thanks ebay, way to clean up the place :(

There's so many mistakes there - even an ametuer can spot the difference.

Enlighten me. I'm pretty familiar with the Gibson fakes, but not so much with Fenders (I don't even own a Fender, so I don't have much to compare it to.)
I can see the inlays are off-center on the neck, what else jumps out at you?

The skunk stripe looks painted on, that jumped out at me.

look at the pickguard on the second one :D

the skunk stripe looks like it was drawn on with a felt tip :D :D

the pickups are different shades

the neck wood looks like kindling :D

[XKnight]

The Fender logo is all wrong as well. The tuners are wrong. That whole guitar is just so wrong on so many levels. Scary Stuff!

Man, this has gotta be legit; the guys been in business since yesterday, in Thailand, if that isn't integrity enough, what is?

:)

Why didn't he submit crummier photos? I guess the quarry he's fishing for would not have a clue.

I note that he included the all important:
"number of strings: 6"
not enough people selling guitars clarify that, and it drives me nuts!
I can't tell you how many times I've bought 5 or 7 string strats off the internet.
caveat emptor.

[rydog2223]

Cool 6 strings! Now I don't have to save up for the "E" string!!!!! Give me a sprout!!!

[Structo]

Wow, that is bad.
Looks like somebody with hand tremors painted the skunk stripe on with a paint brush.

[Elmer]

What a piece of crap. I also reported it to ebay, hopefully they'll pull it before some poor soul gets screwed.
