Hi, guys!
Have anybody expierience with chinese fake guitars, acoustics or electrics?
I bought three of them, two Martin D45´s and 12-string Gibson J200, set them up, playd a year and then sold these. Now I may give an advice to somebody who decide to order some of these replicas.

but my opinion is that the sound of those guitars is not so good as you listen in youtube. I think it´s benefit to very good mic and the other recording stuff. Really there was no low and high end just the mid freq. was available and as my luthier sayd, it´s because of cheap polyester lacquer. It kills the sound. Strange people these chinese - to make so beautiful guitar and to spoil it all with only wrong lacquer! Wierd isn´t it... By the way, playability was impressive
Guitars look beautiful really, but little flaws are everywhere, abalone is real and nice.
In a word, those guitars does not worth the money you have to pay for them (price+customs+V.A.T.), approximately at least 400EUR.

reasonable idea is to buy a HARLEY BENTON!
