Anyone taken a chance on these knockoff guitars on EBay. Like the ESP MX copies or Gibson Explorer copies? They’re low to mid 200’s which seems other worldly. ?

Yes, but it was "lost" in shipping; and I had to get a refund.
I've had better luck with ordering from aliexpress; 2 out of 3 guitars were good; one has finish damage under the clearcoat.
the fit and finish is good, not great on one; they play and sound good, stay in tune, no major issues. I have a set of DiMarzio pickups, white speed knobs, pickup rings and pickup selector tip on order for the latest one, this one is very good. Not PS10 good, but Ibanez doesn't make a PS10 in white:

Most chinese fakes have their own websites like Aliexpress and such.
This town is flooded wit fakes. There's a kid right now trying to sell a fake PRS CE 24 for $600 bucks on FB claiming the price is due to the "quality" lol.
It has a heel cap 2 different colors on the neck LOL.

Guitars seem to be excluded from ebays "no counterfeit" policy. It's flooded with the damn things. Lol

If legit guitar companies don't want to build what I want, and I don't want to pay for a custom guitar from a luthier, someone else will build it.
IIRC, unless you're one of their artists you can't even have the Ibanez Custom Shop build you a guitar. so, f*ck them.
I own two Ibanez PS10. They only come in black, or the cracked mirror. I'd buy a white PS10 from Ibanez if they made one; they don't, and I can't order one, so too bad.
where there's a will there's a way.
Chinese factories will make them; I'm sure Korean and Indonesian factories would too.

I recently tried a Les paul custom copy the Zakk wylde bullseye version through a Ceriatone Chupa that was modded and the guitar really suprised me, It was actually quite good. I could tell from looking at it that it was a copy but for the money these go for I would say it was well worth it, Trouble is this subject quite often opens up a can of other worms. would I buy one? Yes definitely
