those are only the ones they found; not that anyone currently "in charge" cares about customs and border control it's not surprising

Bunches of them showing up on Phoenix CL lately, being advertised as legitimate. Flagging and reporting them the best i can. Check this one out for example:

https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/msg/d/peoria-gibson-slash/7802582594.html

If this is an actual Gibson, man they are putting out some real shite these days lmao!

Buyers beware!

These things have been all over ebay for years.
Could have done it at any point if they wanted it seems.
That Phoenix ad is def a fake. Why flag the ad?
Meet up and then smash it on the ground.

Know your shit when you buy something. If you don’t know, ask multiple people who do know. I’d rather lose the good deal vs spend a buttload on being fooled.

When I buy something I'm into I study like hell everything about it. Read all info I can and research . Study pictures etc.

25 years ago my wife's uncle had a dirt bike for sale ...the fastest 125 he had every ridden . After looking and digging into it he had a KX 250 not a 125.
he never knew until after I bought it. Then I told him,lol. It was a beast it was but not a 125.
 
I saw a listing here for a Slash Victoria that is unplayed and looking for trades or cash. Even if it is from a trusted member, I'm gonna go ahead and pass lol
 
in some ways i have to wonder if all these fakes will push people back to authorized dealers?
 
Think about how many other brands are fake, made me really think about buying stuff for sure.

I'm stuck on EVH branded Fenders, I really like Gibson Flying V's as well. I really like the bang for the buck MIM models.

The extreme high end Les Pauls and older Fenders are very easy to create fakes with CNC's getting better and better.

From the integrity and ethical point of view people knowingly selling fakes should get drop kicked in the nuts 10times over.
 
Was going to order me a 81/85 set of EMGs off ebay ,nope not now just seen video of China fake Emgs. I guess I will order from EMG site
