I agree. But no matter what, when there is a quality name like Gibson, counterfeit is going to happen. See Rolex watches and etc...

It's hard for me to buy Gibson, Ibanez, PRS and etc over the internet when I can't look it over to verify it's legit. It's so easy to get burned. I found a website / auction that is selling Gibson custom guitars for $350 - $450. The pictures are actual Gibson's... but that's the good old "bait and switch" tactic.

I should find the link and expose them... or report them to Gibson and see what they have to say about the matter.
