Cheap Chinese Les Pauls...
Was on ebay last night and saw an
auction for a Les Paul. The seller was in China and had an extremely low opening bid at 3.01 GBP. Ah!... A Cheap Chinese Les Paul.. Haven't I seen similar before yet this same Cheap Chinese dealer had probably more Les Pauls than Gibsons. Having noted in the past how Cheap Chinese goods arriving in the UK can be a pile of shite and often leave people who dabble in it so skint that they turn to activities such as fraud and drug dealing to survive and keep their multiple wives and not being from Exeter I was cautious so emailed the seller if he wasn't simply a Cheap Chinese ****** trying it on. Anyway, the seller assure me that his guitars are the absolutely genuine item so buy a few and take it up with ebay later. BTW - Postage is 186 GBP http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-GIBSON-ELE...QQcmdZViewItem |

However if you are obliged to buy several thousand units, then there is a great temptation to have 7 thousand units, rather than 3.5 thousand of greater quality, at the same price.................... The greed thing is largely responible for the generally held view that Chinese goods are cheap and shoddy, and very possibly the reason why someone with 7 thousand shoddy batteries, very quickly finds he is out of business! |

Having said that, even £189.01 is a phenomenally low price for any Gibson guitar.... I'd be inclined to file this one under "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is"..... |

Crikey....You reckon it's genuine?....You reckon he really doesn't understand or realise exactly what he's trying to sell?....There's nothing tellingly obvious in the photographs to mark it as a fake, but then, some fakes are awesomely good.....The only thing that rings alarm bells is the incredibly good condition....Not even a belt buckle scratch on the back...... I cried when I read this line "there was a old brown case with it but we thown it away" And my blood ran cold at this line "IVE HAD SO MANY ****S TRYING TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO AND NOT WHAT TO DO IF YOU PIS ME OF IAM THE SORT OF BLOKE WHO WILL JUST SMASH IT" |

They look like the sort of tuners you'd normally see fitted to lower-end budget guitars..... Besides, do Gibson list Fireburst as a colour in their catalogue?..... |

It looks pretty genuine to me.....easy £2,000 or more if it's genuine anyway. His telling people not to bid high will draw the bids like woodworm & mice to a moldy guitar case during the last few hours. Jon~ |

So an original 57 Strat goes for $76,000 when you can get a decent new one for $$1500. But a 58 LP would only go for $4000 when a decent new one would cost you umm...$4000 |

I said 'easy £2,000 or more'.....probably a lot more, the £2,000 was a previously mentioned amount. Jon~ check out ebay.com, Gibson Les Paul, then highest bids...............$98,000 (11 bids) for a 57 sunburst that has some replaced parts............. |
