You mean, what if someone copied them and the quality was just as good as the original, by accident? I wish theat happened with the fake Rolexes.

You're right I was being facetious and no I can't tell from the pictures if  these are  of real Gibsons or not. I would still bet that these are rebadged epiphonies or at least made in the same factory during a "ghost run". The ones I find interesting are the ones for where there is no Epiphone equivalent like the rickenbackers or the John Lennon Gibson junior. Here's a thought experiment for you...what if these are the equivalent of an Epiphone or a Squier? What if they are good quality reproductions...what do Gibson do?

The point I am trying to make is, some ( not all) of these pictures are of real gibsons and they are hoping those are the ones that will get you to overlook the details on the fakes they will actually send.

The raw wood alone costs more than the finished guitars to the maker.
