This ought to stir the opinions, I'm gonna check out a Gibson les paul that it is being represented as a probable fake, and priced accordingly. I've seen it, it's beautiful but haven't played it yet. If I can get it cheap enough I'm having a guitar tech install a Les Trem tremolo they have in the shop.  Should play at least as well as my 95 dollar Ibanez.

If they are the Chinese ones Don, have a look on you tube, there are some reviews. I know a couple of guys that own them and some are very good guitars, others are outright crap. I would change out the electronics and hardware but by the time you did that you may as well buy a better guitar...I am seriously thinking of buying a couple to hang on the wall in my bar......I have seen them new for $295-400 USD new on a Chinese site called "Musoland" i think it has been shut down now but they continue to pop up a lot...

I'm just a little queasy about owning a genuine fake, maybe if I scribed NOT where it says made in USA. I played it and it does play better than my Ibanez Gio. I wish they made a tremolo kit for my Gio, I'd just do that for now.
 I keep remembering the chinese minibike we won in a drawing, Not even worth the cost of the ticket.
