Now these are what you call knockoffs

[mrsung]

Dude...no offense...please don't take any...

But that looks like something Prince would play!...YUK!!

It seems they are quite expensive when you do the Thai/US conversion. That's a lot of bread for a Thai knockoff. They look like they're done good...but still

no offense taken. i would hope that only kool-whip man or Prince would actually buy and/or play that.

Well I think I'm going to take the plunge on a Santana they look the tits!

at least this one I wouldn't feel bad putting a floyd and a dimebucker in! hahaha

China is already copying the JEM and other Ibanez guitars and doing striped guitars with an actual kramer logo on them. NO ONE CARES! We have been sold out to the control of foreign importers. Look what happened with Harley Davidson when Japan copied there designs. NO ONE CARES!

That kills me because a few years ago I was dumping off a buch of crap I had bought years earlier(Squires,Hondos I had bought to practice my routing,customizing, skills,etc...) and one was a early 80's red Hondo Strat with the factory white VH stripes.
Next thing you know I'm getting a "Please remove because Mr. Edward Van Halen is a member of Safe Harbor and says......" email from ebay and then cease and desist letters from his lawyer claiming I'm not authorized to sell anything with his Frankenstien art on it blah,blah,blah....
I started the thing at $25.......It wasn't like I was some big dog trying to retire off it.It was factory graphics too but I guess Hondo didn't get permision back then so it's not eligible for sale now.
So I still have it and now maybe my kids or grandkids can sell it with the letters and make some money off when everybodys dead

I really dig the "Ultimate 1" jazz style guitar. I wonder what they go for...sent them an email day before yesterday, but haven't heard back yet.

[RaVenCAD]

That and the Ultimate 2 are KIILLING me right now.. Must........... resist............ GAS.................

Very nice knockoffs, and some of them list the specs. Maple, ebony, mahogany..... Nicey nice. The "Star Saphire" models are sweet looking.

[krimson]

Riscchip,

Try again they have replied to me 2 our of 3 times.

[ApeDosMil]

They look like high quality guitars, not the cheap ones that other guitar companies make.

I just custom ordered one. I was in the shop and talked to the guy that makes em. I seleceted the top I wanted and away we go. I played a bunch of the others there and they are great guitars.

[krimson]

Keep us posted and show us some pics when you get it. I may just take the plunge once I get caught up on the bills.

[HoWheels]
