What gives here?!....MAN!...the ballz of some companies!! You know Fender/Jackson didn't give this company permission to copy a Kelly! And a cheezy set necked version at that! [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I mean..an Explorer is a widely copied (more universal) shape...almost like a Strat. A Kelly is much more of a "proprietary" shape I thought. Besides that...Fender is usually quick to release the dogs on anyone who infringes on their copyrights.

This might be the ones that I saw at NAMM. They were right around the corner from the Schecter booth. I've got pics of it, I'll try and throw one up some time soon.

Oh, so because it's done a lot that makes it okay... uh... no. One ripoff's as good as another. [img]graemlins/poke.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/poke.gif[/img]

That very same guitar, but white with chrome hardware, is being sold under the name Eagle "Snowflake" in Sweden. But it´s a POS whatever the headstock says [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Holy NEW FORGERY Batman!!

It's not cheesy because it's a setneck. It's cheesy because it rips Jackson, Ibanez and ESP all in one cheap copy!

I love how he talks about scanning Ebay and all he ever sees is "the Jackson ones"!! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Too much Maui Wowie for that guy!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Holy NEW FORGERY Batman!!

You know though, if someone copied a Carvin V220, how can we be surprised at
ANY copy being made?
