[kj] OT: 'Gibson' [coughs] es295 for $375.00!

[fluw]

Funny wise guy, of course the "made in the USA "stamp means nothing, but
having good mahogany for 1 piece necks is not cheap, unless china has been
growing ancient mahogany trees just like those of brazil.

Maybe that good old mahogany does grow there, I don't know.but maybe you can
tell us all.

My God you're right...howr could they have stamped "Made in the USA" on the
necks if they weren't made in the USA? It's just impossible...

That would be fine if it's repackaged Epiphones but they aren't, those are
Gibson headstocks with made in the USA stamps and those are lacquer
finishes. and in looking at most of the les pauls on that site - they are
one piece mahogany necks and bodies. The raw wood alone costs more than the
finished guitars to the maker.

Well, of course it's a scam if you think you're getting a Made in the USA
Gibson...but if you think you're getting a rebadged Epiphone for $400 then
it could be a bargain. Of course there would be import taxes and I wouldn't
like to return one because of a warped neck.

This has to be a scam, there is no way you are getting a $3,000 made in the
USA Gibson for a hundredth of the price.

As 'Gibson' as I am fat, but kind of tempting none the less :)
