That is canadian store Long & Mcquade. They have black and white ones also.

The question is are these better than, or at least on par with my Edwards ES and LP? That's a tall order because every Edwards I've owned or layed hands on was a killer instrument.

I see them on marketplace more & more. I'd be hesitant to buy a used Gibson from an unknown local seller, there are so many.

I'm not sure which would be worse; forking out $2k for a fake, or the possibility that the QC could be better than a real Gibson.

I am wondering if they're still made in china...

My 09 Edwards LP is supposedly from the era when Edwards had parts being produced in China or wherever but it smokes. Has one of the nicest, slickest rosewood boards I've ever laid hands on.

Why do the bridge studs look mismatched?
