There's a lively discussion on TalkBass about that website - there is considerable suspicion that they download photos from original manufacturer sites and re-use them on their site.  However, the actual instruments they make MAY be made based only on the photos rather than from original instruments.

If true, one would be well advised not to trust that the instrument received would be similar to that in the photo.

Same as we've been discussing here:

I already thought they were Chinese fake. Now we know for sure.

Yep. That settles it. Counterfeit all the way.

Based on my visits, there's plenty of places in China that trade 'tang.

Hopefully not counterfeit 'tang.  :o
