Infadels!!!!...Fake Stingrays???

[TommyK-Stingray]

Don't know if any of you guys at EBMM already know this but there seems to be someone selling cheap "knock off" Stingrays on the web with what appears to be your logo on them.....

If this has been mentioned before sorry.....my bad.

 

[Duarte]

This makes me sad.

 

[danny-79]

Shady looking .

 

[five7]

Scum of the earth.

 

[lefenton]

What a glorious piece of crap! It reeks of cheapness. Makes me appreciate the real deal so much more. Their description is laughable. I feel sorry for anyone that ends up with one of these.

 

[Steamthief]

Maybe an "informational" e-mail blitz is in order.

 

[stomaraka]

i've heard of this while looking for a gretsch country gentleman, they make everything. i've read somewhere that you can ask for headstock branding if you want to start a brand.
It would make an excellent stage prop...setting on fire a-la-Hendrix, breaking amps...stuff like that...raining on your video shoot...

 

[LawDaddy]

This makes the lawyer in me very angry.

 

[Basswave]

Nice 4 bolt pattern

 

[Mabongohogany]

I'm thinking that's gonna be dealt with by the MIGHTY HAMMER!!
that is EBMM, Legal Department/Goon Squad et al....

Trade Tang has been brought up a few times here and I remember BP saying it is very hard to enforce copyright laws in China. On a related note someone should search for the quality of there products. Often instruments are made of styrofoam. JOSH

When these a$$hats start copying the Bongo then I'll know we Have Arrived.

 

[TheStiffness]

I bet these are more expensive in Europe....

 

[OldManMusic]

Funniest "service" description I've ever seen on that webpage. I'd quote it here, but that might be copy right infringment.

 

[Holdsg]

Oh, I was going to buy 50.

 

[shakinbacon]

it takes some guts to do this...

(check out the back of the headstock for where it is made)

 

[DrGonzo5150]

I bet these are more expensive in Europe....

They're outrageous in Australia... Damn distributors

 

[Boogie.Man]

Are those CF OLPs that they also carry?

Nt

 

[DavidOfOz]

The one that amuses me is the purple "Stingray" that looks more like an Axis...but with a Petrucci signature on the headstock.

Sigh.
