In France, selling a counterfeit item is a crime. Buying one also ... I think it is the same in a lot of countries.
It seems that E-BAY is damaging a lot of honest companies like MusicMan.
It is a sort of commercial terrorism ...

Well, E-BAY is earning money with every transaction. So how many dollars does E-BAY win with all the counterfeit items ???
Even if a mosquito drinks just a small drop of blood, it can give you paludism ...
It is the E-BAY's responsability to filter all the bad stuff. If they don't do it, who can ?

The Item already exists, should it be destroyed? Whatever happened previously when the item was new, whatever lawsuit has been settled and the company that made the guitar does not make money off of this transaction.

Normally, yes the item sould be destroyed. It is the law.
If a guy buy this item, this guy will not buy an OLP for instance. So OLP (and MusicMan) will lose a customer or an honest owner of an OLP will lose an occasion to sell legally his guitar.
It is the same if you buy a copy of a Rolex in China. When you go back in Europe (or USA I think), if the custom officers find it, you will have a fine and they will destroy the copy. As a buyer, you are legally responsible.

Talk about an ugly neck joint... Looks like 2 of the 4 bolts connect the neck and body. That is hideous.

They're fakes -- the Japanese distributor Kanda Shokai has already informed me about them, the "SX" models... Hey everyone! Let's think of funny meanings of the acronym "SX":

So if you have a problem with it, then contact ebay. That's why they have the safeharbor team.

Acronyms will be hard due to the small number of words that begin with x... maybe I'll try some other avenues:

"Just add 'u' and it SuX!"

So inXpensive!
Specifications ineXact
Shouldn't Xist

Well, the problem is to know if we want to have world where the work of everyone is respected.
This guitar is a joke, we all know that. But it shows that it is very easy to sell craps all around the world and to destroy the business of honest guys.
The technology gives us a lot of opportunity but does not give us a sense of responsability...
