Maybe that's a Gibson in some alternative universe.

A 'Gibson' with Höfner tailpiece and controls... Uwe's gotta like that!

Same china guy has this one too:

Wrong bridge, wrong pups (EMG-like), wrong finish (on the neck and body), wrong knobs, no neck plate but cool enough for 300$ american peso.
Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it.

Tell you what; those look a whole lot like the BaCHird pickup. And that one sounds fantastic...

Yup, I didn't say that those might sound like crap, just mean that they are wrong-shaped in comparison with the real epi pups. Epi pups are Artec too, and sound damn good.

I actually did the Höfner/Gibson mix on it ...  :-[
