It probably is a violation of E-Bay rules to use the EBMM name in the listing, but that thing is so obvioulsy not an EBMM that there is no trademark infringment issue.

Geez Louise...

This person must have attended the "Get Rich on Ebay!" online seminar, right after they responded to an e-mail from Nigeria's ex-Minister of the Treasury, agreeing to allow them to transfer 10 million dollars into their bank account.

Yeah, I don't think anyone would have a problem distinguishing that THING from a real EB/MM...

I don't think many people would distinguish it from a real guitar

eBay Seller: bigprocable: Guitar, Musical Instruments items on eBay.com

Huihao Musical Instrument CO.,Ltd

That last website has a menu item "Honor"

Seems pretty deep. Maybe MM should add "Courage" to their site just under "Colour Options"

That's total crap. Keyword spamming is a rotten tactic. Even though in this case nobody would confuse that guitar for a real EBMM, in principle it's still using a company with a superior reputation (and in this case even a country of origin with a superior reputation) to leverage your own product.

I don't have a problem with chinese guitars per se. Okay, they tend to be kind of ugly compared to something like an EBMM, and the fit and finish is nowhere near as nice, and the components tend to be really cheap. Nonetheless, compared to what was available even 20 years ago, they've brought a new level of playability to the ultra-low price segment (think First Act, etc.) which makes the instrument more accessible not just in the US/european market, but in other markets like the central/south american and the asian markets, where the average person might previously had no hope whatsoever of owning an electric guitar at all. They should be proud of what they are! There's no need for them to degrade themselves by passing off their guitars as something they so obviously are not.

The thing you have to remember is these low end guitar makers do not have the same R&D team, player input etc that you get with the premium guitar makes. So as a result, they rip off every one elses ideas so make their products.
