So I've know about this guy Antoniotsai for a few years now, but didnt start hearing the horrible reviews about the quality of his guitars until recently. (although I always assumed for such a cheap price, most of his stuff falls apart). It turns out everything he sells is flawed, and poorly built, from his arch tops, to his mandolins and acoustics, they crack, cave in, and are unplayable in every aspect.  
 
But check out this Les Paul guitar... Look at the headstock, it seems to be infringing on both the Gibson headstock design, and the epiphone logo.

If I recall, he has had some Ritter copies on the Bay for sale as well in the past. I remember the explanations of the intricate inlay work and how it is unmatched by any other luthier....
 
LMAO!! This is too funny.

An intrusment from an inlaird artist?  Not a bad bit of rhetoric!  I had a Roland manual that indicated it would send MIDI massages.  Ahhh that was relaxing...now for an eye massage
 
The only thing that stays the same is change.
