[JohnW400]

Thank you.

I wish I could take credit but I saw this term on a guitar forum out of Spain. They have a thread with pictures. (There are also a few members here that are members there as well) Here's the link:

I love Chibsons, especially the really bad, obvious copies. I like to browse Ioffer where you can occasionally find the bad Rickenbacker copy with a Gibson logo on the headstock. I plan on buying a Chibson rather soon.

This spanish thread really nauseates me. Why on earth do they all buy this crap? I'm sure that most of them sooner or later end up in the used market and quite a few will be sold 2nd hand as genuine Gibsons or Fenders.

So, anybody who buys one of those, be aware of the responsibility you obtain. Play it, display it (as a bad example) or use it as firewood but never sell it. You'd be no better than the guys who produce them.

I'm not sure why and I haven't read all the threads or posts about it. I don't know what the fascination could be. Maybe it's the same type of thing for people who buy imitation Rolex watches.

Another thing to remember is that site is more a rock-metal site. I've only found two jazz sites in Spain and they deal mostly with the music rather than instruments. (Which is a good thing to see. ).

As far as people selling them, I'll bet they're all over the place. As the saying go "there's one born every minute"

No Chibsons but I have a Chender Chatocaster. You couldn't possibly sell it as legit. For a start. it is a "Super Bullet" or something, which was a Squier range of Strats, not Fender. Secondly, it has 2 serial numbers - No, they don't match. The front of the headstock was apparently made in USA and the back side of the headstock was made in Mexico!?!?!?! And, in two different years?!?!?

But that's the secret..! Damned clever, the Chinese; they can do what the Yankees have never succeeded in. Probably single-coil humbuckers, too...

Maybe that's where that Super Bullet was made.....

However, I have no idea about this. Looked at the narrative, looked at the pictures.............burst out laughing.
