中国的假琴已经引起了Ebay关注——CHINA GUITAR SCAM
A big issue with fake "brand name" guitars has been growing on Ebay.  The majority (about 95%) of these fake guitars have been coming out of China. You name it, Gibson, Epiphone, Fender, ESP, LTD, and list goes on. It is pretty easy to spot out this scam. Here are a few ways that you can spot them out,
1. The listing is from China
2. They give % discounts in shipping for larger purchases
3. They have many of the same listing over and over again with the same pictures from different sellers.
4. They are very broad about the guitar you are purchasing (if they mention anything about it whatsoever)
5. They talk about China's culture more then the guitar (I know, it's funny but TRUE)
6. They have private feedback (they do this because of people leaving feedback about being scammed)
7. They have ridiculously low selling prices (sorry, you can't get a new Gibson for $2.88)
8. Don't be fooled by them being verified, a powerseller, and or having an about me page!
9. Nine times out of ten, the guitar is in the wrong category
10. If you are still not sure about the authenticity of the guitar you will be purchasing, ask the sellers specific questions and follow your gut instincts.
Knowing full well that I was going to get scammed with a fake Les Paul even though the seller, again from China, stated it was the real deal, I purchased one to inspect the quality since our company sells guitars as well. Not to our surprise, the guitar was indeed a fake. A low quality fake at that. The finish was cheap, the
tuners were student grade at best, the humbuckers were weak, the neck was not set in correctly, the inlays were sketchy, the hardware was junk, and the body was made from plywood! Not exactly a grade A Gibson huh?

Please just be safe on Ebay and have fun!

最近EBAY出现了大量的假名牌吉他出现，大部分（大约95%）来自中国，什么牌子都有，GIBSON，EPIPHONE，FENDER，ESP，LTD，名单很长，要辨别这些假琴很容易，以下是一些常规的方法：
1. 卖家来自中国
2. 他们以百分比的方式为大宗购买提供运费折扣
3. 他们总是用同样的模式和同样不变的图片在EBAY上出现，不同的卖家都一样。
4. 他们总是能够不可思议地满足不同客户对不同品牌，款式的要求。
5. 他们总是更多地讨论中国文化而不是吉他 (我知道这很滑稽，但是这是真的)
6. 他们总是有一些私下的顾客回馈（指那些不是真正的EBAY顾客的回馈，说白了就是托，因为真正的顾客都会因为上当而反馈不利的信息）
7. 他们以荒谬的低价格销售名牌吉他
8. 不要被“认证卖家”，“超级卖家”，“自我介绍”等欺诈型信息欺骗
9. 10把里面有9把的系列，型号等整体信息是对不上的
10. 如果您仍然对卖家及产品表示怀疑，那么联系他们并询问专业的细节问题，并用知觉判断

充分了解情况后，我开始向一个卖家购买一把假冒的LES PAUL吉他，同样是来自中国的卖家，我真的作了这比交易，以查看这些琴真正的质量，因为我们公司也一直在卖吉他。不出所料，这琴绝对是假货，假货中的烂货，他的油漆是最烂的那种，旋钮连最低档次的标准型都及不上，拾音器音色都很弱，琴颈嵌入琴身的尺寸都不对，品记非常的粗糙，其他的硬件是旧货翻新，琴体是用合板做的。。在EBAY上请各位要小心点。（翻译：康师傅）
