Naw, i'd say this one's been changed enough to not be a "faker".

Clearly derivative, but probably more of a wanna-be.

A good (bad) example of what happens when you set out to do a knock-off that is close enough to cause the Rick vibe in someone's wallet, in hopes of avoiding a lawsuit.

And it's totally ugly, too...

I actually like the zebra striped one a lot.

So who is the girl with all the makeup and the ugly bottle-blond hairjob at the top of the page? Is she a spokesmodel for the guitars, or is she "Kohta"?

Whoever she is, she does not succeed in taking anyone's mind off the guitars themselves.... not pretty, the mutated and stretched canopener horns have acquired a nightmarish quality

I thought it was a bloke!

I don't think that's a girl. Not a faker, but not interested either.
