Guys, I know we think we've got it bad with eBay Alembic rip offs, but I think this ad sets a new low. Check it out: http://cgi.ebay.com/Infrequent-encircle-dragon-Gibson-Paul-Electric-Guitar_W0QQitemZ200017464781QQihZ010QQcategoryZ33040QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

The gold standard in the "One description fits all" category! Sell anything: guitar, blender, hubcap, painting, collander, you name it, why bother actually describing the specific item when you can slap this description onto virtually anything!

Bill, tgo

Karma at work . . . these ersatz 'Gibson' guitars are ALL over EBay. And all from China. If Henry thought he was keeping his lawyers busy before, they all better be loading B12 and carbs these days.

The odd thing about this is the 'Custom Shop' and 'Zakk Wylde' decals on the back of the head.
I'd have guessed a re-topped Zakk, but there's no battery box rout for the EMGs. The half-ass CNC copy of Susan's Dragon inlay is REAL poor.

I had that problem, but with the right medication I've become more regular.
