Question Fake Bongo, or SUB, SbyMM...etc?

[keko]

Hi, ...is this "thing" authorized by EBMM company, ...all I know it's Made in China?

 

[sanderhermans]

Pretty sure it is not authorized by ebmm.
We have seen a buch of these come up here in the past years, allways bongos, allways bad built, allways photos on cardboard boxes,.... so wrong. The bridge, body ahape, pickups, tuners, neck, knobs,.... every litl and large details are not right ao clearly fake.

 

[sanderhermans]

Just look at that pickguard to make the cheap bridge fit! And the trus rod wheel. Lordy lord

 

[SBMM]

Not one of ours...

 

[sanderhermans]

Check out the 23th and 24th fret too, fretboard came a bit short or so it seems.

The curse of modern CAE systems, measure and cut. But the parts are pure crap.

The notch for the truss wheel (is it in there?) looks like it was made by a large caliber round at short range.

Either that or beavers gnawed it out.

I think they used a photograph from a crumpled old magazine to trace the shape for their CNC...

Looks legit...

If there's a decent serial number somewhere, post a query on this thread:

No offense but that would be quite a waste of time...

Yes that Made in China kind of defeats the whole purpose of a legit Bongo. But I posted the comment above just for general information.
