That counterfeit PRS hurts

[docteurseb]

Just came across this 'thing':

He does say this is not a PRS, masks the headstock logo with masking tape, and proceeds to quote PRS' own description of a Paul's Guitar.

For those with Reverb accounts, you may want to take some time to briefly report this abomination to them. I just did.

"That said, this guitar does stand up to any professionally made guitar on the market. You will not be disappointed."
Doubtful, judging by the stop tail recessed deep into the body to compensate for a bizarre neck/body angle.
The pickups height are interesting too, but maybe they've been painstakingly adjusted for the best musical tones.

Alright, back onto my search of real a Paul's Guitar / Paul's 85.

That's gross. Ha!

The recessed Stoptail is legit

 

[DISTORT6]

The recessed Stoptail is legit

Brass inserts, too.

 

[bodia]

Fugly!

 

[ScottR]

Looks like poop on a stick.

 

[Bowtiefanatc]

I do love the quote “won’t stand up to anything professionally made. You won’t be disappointed”

 

[Lister]

Beauty may indeed be in the eye of the beholder...but that's just fugly.

 

[Black Plaid]

LOL, I can't believe how much they are asking for that amateur hour guitar. So many things wrong with it.

 

[WA Paul]

Where’s the Will Smith Oh Heck No!!! button?

What 24 fret PRS was sacrificed to make that? Ugh!

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Looks like golden poop on a stick.

 

[Fireroadeddy]

At least it's over seas and hopefully does not make it to the states

 

[Cheddar Kung Pao]

Whenever someone claims their home project is just as good as "the real thing" this plays in my head:

 

[Black-Viper75]

Lol. Wtf. That is one ugly guitar.

 

[ViperDoc]

Those are some pretty PRO-looking lamination lines on the waist. Oh, and the neck heel. Didn't design that one blind-folded, no sir. ACK.

 

[Smack]

The headstock isn't even big enough for the tuners to sit properly.

 

[Tony M.]

I have no opinion because I have not played it.
