Hmmm...it`s the KATANA Twister, assume. 8)

 

[Oil Can]

Yeah, it sort of looks like a Katana that sat out in the sun too long.

Found this on the SIMS page:


The headstock was even worse.

 

[Stroud]

it wouldnt look that bad IMHO if the bridge didnt look so lop sided

The headstock was an exact copy, but instead of Warwick it said like Wellmington or somthing.

LOL!

 

[Vinnie]

wow... even the trussrod cover...

 

[ThirdthumB]

I don't get it...........

If the intention was to make a copy of a Thumb, why not put J/J pups ?? :?

 

[Stroud]

because its made for kids who dont know whats what and a humbucker probably look much more impressive... :wink:

 

[Michael J]

But Humbuckers are better right? Really? Oh Im an idiot...

Dang....

I hope that we won't see stuff like this more frequently. Kinda scary to hear all this stuff about companies in China producing rip-offs of Nike and Adidas clothes. I hope this won't swap over to music industry that is, if it hasn't already done so.

It's been happening for the past 30 years that I know of mate. :wink:

I think it's a way bigger problem for companies like Gucci and Cartier. I know plenty of people wearing fake 10 $ watches, that imitate the real thing costing over 2000 $..............YUK :x

its inevitable though. as long as there are companies needing to make money, there will be countless companies cutting corners and going into the fake market.
