Hi,
found this from a google link on youtube. Some Chinese store selling cheap guitars...anyone seen it before? The prices seem crazy cheap. Just wondering if it's trustworthy:

They are so cheap because they are knock offs. If you order a Les Paul from them it will be a fake Les Paul…

If it looks too good to be true it probably is. Have a read of this, this, this and this.

Lol man. I just went through this site from your above quote http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/dropshipping-wholesale-hookups/17094-tradetang-com-reviews.html and most members say the quality was good. Maybe they should have gone to Specsavers.

Do you really have to ask?

Website is legit.:)

The items are NOT.

The 'switch and bait' thing is going on there. Original pics on the site, but you get a different item which is not as good.:rolleyes:

Therefore the web-site is not legit either.
It's illegal to sell knock-offs by advertising them as the real thing AFAIK.

The new Guns N' Roses should be made illegal for the same reason!!

Exactly. Look at this Les Paul Custom Purple Tiger for example. The item costs $1.14 but then you are charged $308.81 for shipping to the USA. WTF?

I guess I was in denial. With those prices I think I still am. Everything telling me no, but yet I'm strangely drawn to it

'Switch and bait' gets us all sometimes.

The guitar you recieve would not look like the one in the pic.

Ah yea, I doubt I would have really bought one off them to be honest. Just looked too dodgy.

Actually it may look like the one in the pic but that's where the similarity will end.
