Seriously, what's the marketing standpoint here? They have endorsers play Ibanez brand guitars, but they're not really Ibanez guitars at all, they're custom shop guitars made of unobtainium.

It's like NASCAR....no one really thinks you can buy a Monte Carlo that goes that fast, so why even bother calling it one or putting the stickers on the side?

I guess the answer is people really are that gullible to marketing.
