Has the made in usa handwriting on the guitar
guitarman888 [00:16:57]

guitarman888 [00:17:12]
Can you explain
guitarman888 [00:18:44]
?
e-guitar [00:20:06]
You are wasting my time, I am quite busy
guitarman888 [00:20:25]
Im going to call fender myself then sir.
guitarman888 [00:20:40]
Want them to waste your time?
e-guitar [00:22:30]
You in the inquiry useful question, I in the work, had not hoped that you can inquire the purchase the question
guitarman888 [00:23:09]
Im questioning the reliability/
guitarman888 [00:23:44]
of your whole business
e-guitar [00:24:52]
Has many people to purchase my guitar, you suspect anything ?
e-guitar [00:25:35]
You pay money for me, I transmit the product for you, anything has not needed to suspect
guitarman888 [00:25:57]
Well living in america and knowing these guitars very well. I am to suspect this is a fake and am to contact Fender right?
guitarman888 [00:26:19]
They can check this out, if this is a problem to you.
e-guitar [00:27:01]
This question, I already told you, the product is the high copy
guitarman888 [00:27:38]
But with the fender logo, claiming this is a indeed fender, is illegal where i come from.
e-guitar [00:28:39]
But its low in price, many people purchase
guitarman888 [00:29:30]
So your morals say its right to commit crimes if its for a low price?
e-guitar [00:30:51]
I did not think that has not rightly, the product price is inexpensive, I do not afford the expensive product, I buy the same product, the price am cheap, the quality is the same
guitarman888 [00:31:36]
Did you draw the fender logo in Crayola marker sir?
e-guitar [00:32:20]
yes
guitarman888 [00:32:28]
HAHAH THANK you
guitarman888 [00:32:35]

The worse thing is some unsuspecting chump will most likely buy that not knowing the difference.Do Fender and other makers go after such obvious frauds or are there too many to bother with?One would think that maybe the latter is true.

Surely you'd notice if the guitar's bridge wasn't screwed in at the correct angle. Or that the pick guard looks like it was shaped by someone with 1 tooth chewing on a white piece of plastic.... that thing looks terrible...

I enjoyed that Toyo!

I did something similar with one of those Nigerian scammers. I would send them pictures of circus freaks and tell them it was my family (which they complimented me on).

I suspect the manufacturers can't do much about the fakers though. Maybe we could do a group buy and get a Muddy Waters tele for $59.99.

I think fender needs to rent the army from the US and go in and destroy all the fake factories. we could call it, "Operation Telecaster freedom"

Makes you wonder exactly who they are fooling. Beginners? Chinese players who may have never seen the real thing? Poor lost souls far away from the nearest Fender dealer....

hahahaha, I nearly spilt my coffee when I saw that 'Suprome' :D

Did they really think that inlay was going to fool anybody? And the truss cover is just hilarious, it's so wrong it's fantastic. What was the guy thinking?

"yeah, that's good, good engraving, yeah this aint so hard, that looks just like it... I'm pretty good at this actually, this is going to work, no really, they'll never pick it..."
