I had mentioned it before that I had come across a Chibson that had me fooled until I checked the serial with Gibson. It was that good. I took pics of it but I can't ever seem to find them when I think about it.
Clean routing, excellent finish work, no bleedover on the binding, perfect frets, nice pots and wiring. I'm pretty sure whoever modded it before by buddy bought it knew it was a replica but was trying to make it legit by adding the DiMarzio PAFs and CTS pots, Grovers, etc.
It's possible it wasnt from China at all, but it was convincing nonetheless.
