Was your Ibanez authentic? I think the TS is asking about Chinese copies like Gibson Les Paul copies, Fender Stratocaster copies, fakies, and the likes.

Some "authentic" Les Pauls sound exactly like that!

pag puro tapping ok na ang copy, basta ilunod mo lang sa distortion, pare pareho na yan.

San ba nakakabili ng MIC na Gibson at magkano?  Makabili nga tapos sasama ako kay Ael dun sa tapping clinic na sinasabi nya dati.

RJ guitars ba, MIC copy?

Kahit 'di na masyado lunod sa distortion basta maayos ang pag-tapping uubra na din. At kung ganun lang din ang sukatan, e pwede na siguro natin sabihin kay TS na oks din bumili ng fakes.

IIRC, those RJ guitars are from Czech Republic - rebranded BaCH guitars.

[doritos_ug_mr_chips]

China made copies of branded guitars look good but they don't sound the same as the real ones.  BUT you can set it up to make it sound even better. hehe.

actually there are lots of copies being sold at the net...sulit.com for example..dont get me wrong guys,i do not discriminate those guitars.in fact,i consider them.but things that i consider are like

-warranty provided by manufacturer- (gibson carriers wont of course entertain them)
- quality of sound- due to pick ups
- overall quality- like how long will they last

cosmetics isnt a factor- they are clones.you cant see the difference.

like there are also copies of dimebags razorback.they all seem the same.price dropping as low as 7.5k. not only LPs and SG's are being copied.

so enticing.but there are things to really consider. thats why i solicit the guitar gurus out here.

i used to own an epiphone LP way back...but i sold it ..and im a Raon baby din ako..may mga guitars din ako from there..may SX na tele din ako..but those copies are so interesting...

i play sa church ngayon...and i want something na Humbucker...

trip ko yung dimebag because of the floyd rose...same price halos kasi ng LTD na orig..but of course,yung dating nung guitar is still different from the LTD...

gulo noh???

yes sir 

[jude.nash]

in short- i dont want to spare a certain amount of money na pde kopag sisihan sooner or later...

[free2rock]

Naalala ko nung pumatok si John Hu years ago. Andaming nakisali sa bandwagon noon. Hahaha!

[gainsucker]

i was once told na walang truss rod 

or meron pero fake...

sharp frets... nakakasugat...

plywood board, body

for P8k you can get a better guitar.

[gandydancer123]

In my opinion..save your money, and tiis pa ng a few more months at wag madaliin yung purchase ng guitar..

get something na worth na tumagal in the long run..hanap ka japan, Korea..or mexican..na legit branded models..

tambay ka lang sa classifieds napaka daming available good quality second hand stuff..

may mga china copies na maayos a true blue na goal nila na ireplicate yung mga vintage guitars...kung alam mo to hanapin..ok...pero yung mga china copies na makikita mo sa tabi tabi...forget it..basura lang yan tulad ng mga sta.mesa at raon "luma-na" guitars..

kasi in the long run mas masusulit pera mo sa umpisa palang binili mo na yung quality...and mas minspire ka pa..and madali lang i-mod para gumanda pa siya..and quality guitars and brands hold their value..

iwasan mo na yang mga crappy low end guitars and copies.. kung may 6k ka..ipon lang uli ng isa pang 6k..para makakuha ng legit..kesa na masayang lang yung 6k mo sa basura at disposable na gear. walang pride what so ever..

I think you just answered your own question on your own thread.

[gainsucker]

@ts

since nabanggit mo na tumutugtog ka sa church, sa tingin ko di tama na gumamit ka ng isang bagay na peke para sa pagsamba, sige ka baka magaya ka kay Cain
