He actually admits in the description that it is a Chinese made;

This guitar is of the finest quality, and yet it is only a fraction of the cost that you would normally pay. You may be wondering how such an amazing product could be so cheap, It is possible because it has been manufactur in china, where labour is cheap. Cheap labour does not mean that quality has been compromis; all parts are of the highest quality and have been import from overseas.

I was looking at a copy of an Abyss Custom at dhgate the other day and asked the seller if he could take pictures of the ACTUAL guitar. Reply: "these ARE the actual pictures" where I know for a fact that they were taken from the Abyss website.

Guy from the Netherlands bought a PR$ hollowbody copy from DHGate but when he opened the package he wasn't shure wether to laugh or cry :). Never seen anything so way, waaaay off. Builder at the bandsaw must have been drunk :)

That semihollow is horrendeous!!! I have a far east "Tradition" semi-hollow that I call a copy of a Schecter that's a copy of PRS.... At least it's branded as what it is (and priced correctly as well). I'll live without birds and keep the body not looking backwards with a neck 20 degrees tilted. There really is some crap out there, isn't there.....

I’ve never seen an EBMM copy, but they must be easy to spot. I reckon they can’t match the beautiful birdseye necks.

Let the horrid grammar and spelling serve as a barometer of this statement's validity.

The good thing is they seem to not make copies of the better EBMM's, like the Albert Lee! They seem to just cater for the VH suckers!!!!!!!! Albert Lee players would never be so stupid!

I couldn't agree more. I've never seen a copy of a Silo, but if SRV or Clapton played one, then there probably would be imitations out there.
