yea, but a simple TRC change and new tailpiece would make that pretty hard to distinguish to most people

Alex, have you ever seen one of these in the flesh, so to speak?

Even on a computer monitor, the subtlety and balance (speaking of the color and craftsmanship here) are missing. The headstock shot in this ad was the most telling; even ignoring the TRC, the proportions, routing, and paintwork all look wrong. And the copycats never seem to get the FG finish right.

You can still fool me, but these days it takes an Australian-built 360F to do it. Ouch.

It's OK, Paul. Many of us got sucked in by that one! I'd forgotten all about it....

Is there a '3 foibles and you're out' rule??

It could be just a bunch of pictures and you have to identify if it's a fake or not...
I'm sure we've all seen that but with womens breasts, something along the lines of fake or not.
