Wow. That's great, though. Making replicas of popular guitars! If they were a little bit more accurate, I bet people would buy them more.

 Re: knockoff kikusui fireman $411!!!
Im tempted.... With a good set up and maybe some new pickups it might be pretty good.

 Re: knockoff kikusui fireman $411!!!
Well, one thing is if the hardware and electronics are bad - you can easily replace that.
Now, if the guitar itself feels bad - the wood, neck etc - I wouldn't see why paying anything for a bad instrument, if you are willing to transform it into a good one. Wouldn't it be easy just to custom order a decent one?

I wouldn't trust it. Of the only two customer reviews there are, one of them has been pulled down by the video uploader

 Re: knockoff kikusui fireman $411!!!
Yeah I wouldn't trust it. I'd just get the latest PGM and maybe have it custom colored like what boardmember did to get that "joker" PGM!

 Re: knockoff kikusui fireman $411!!!
Had some buddies chip in and get me the Dragon Tele for a Zep tribute show. Didn't expect much, but its a legitimate instrument. Intonates well, plays alright, pickups are vintage spec'd. Can't have stupid-low action, but its more than low enough.
Theyd have to cut a lot of corners for the Fireman, though.
