Guitar People. This is too good to be true.

I can tell you that they are experts at forging high end guitars in China, and brazen enough to badge and market them as the real thing

Absolutely true. I bought my wife a nice Gucci purse when I was in Zacatecas. Fake as hell and I got gypped out of six bucks.
But the guitar here was forty six bucks and that would have barely covered shipping, if it covered it at all.
