Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

I'd expect QC (in the hands of the players) and things like the inability to redeem a warranty would make that evident. I don't think we can reasonably prevent all forgeries. It's a pretty modern world and we've lost the ability to produce all sorts of stuff.

But, if it is on AliExpress and should be "Made in the USA", then it's almost certainly a forgery.

Yeah why would aliexpress sell anything made in the USA. Though I have heard some of those forgery companies actually work in the factories the genuine article is made and they just make their own with the companies supplies

Oh, absolutely. If it's made in China anyhow, you're gonna get pretty close to "OEM" quality when you get it from AliExpress.

There are all sorts of things I'll order from them. Like, I'd buy a Cort guitar from them.

I'm actually kinda curious, so I might buy a knockoff Strat from a vendor on AliExpress.

My son found a bunch of Maximum the Hormone concert t-shirts for something ridiculoous like 10 for $10 on there.
