I used to feel that way too, but knowing ebay doesn't care and knowing I'm not bidding on it, I'm fine. Now I like to imagine people crying after they open the box and see a stick with strings glued to it.

Look at the sides with the tuners. They sides curve inward a lot more compared to a REAL Gibson.

A gibson is also bigger at the end than near the nut.

the headstock should be skinnier... the cutaway goes out a bit further like an acoustic, and doesn't have the same curve to it. Overall, they did a damn nice job.

Not a thing to congratulate them about. They're trying to rip off people like the fools who are trying to sell you a JEM for $100 (with $400 shipping).

and if you (as in someone) can't tell the difference... and can't realize that nobody would sell a real JEM for $100 + $400 shipping... that looks completely fake... then I think they kind of deserve it.

Ah okay, I wasn't sure if you guys were talking about the curves on the sides or that chair back bow shape at the top.
