    Default Is this legit

    I am wondering if this is a legit website/reseller:

    http://www.retail-wholesale.com/fend...ar_p12300.html

    I think they might be based in China, but are the guitars knock offs or the real deal?

    I clicked on the link and my browser told me I should go home and rethink my life. So, yes, I'd say they're knock offs

    Yes. "Designed by Apple in California Assembled in China" says on my iPhone.

    The fake one would probably say "Designed by Maple in Hong Kong Assembled in Taiwan."

    You haven't played any Chinese built guitars by a company like Harmony... They can be very bad. I'd love to see what these are like, but I wouldn't front the cash to find out.
