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.
I'm not surprised.
At the same time, the band won't get anything from the purchase. So, there's that...
I actually sent the store a message asking to see the headstock on a guitar and, sure enough, it had the Fender logo. I wanna buy it and test it. I'll CLEARLY mark it as a forgery.
If/when my collection goes up for auction, I want to ensure it's clearly documented as a forgery.
Hmm... As it's a Fender, we can't really call it a Chibson, though that's kinda a generic name...
Chender? Fenchina?
It has to be Chinder ot Chender. To follow the Chibson theme. I would go with Chender. Maybe take a wood burner to the headstock and mark forgery right on there
