So I might be the only one not aware of this, but it looks like those industrious folks overseas are making blatant knock-offs of Musicman guitars in Lefty and selling them at low prices:

Now i have no problem with "look-alikes" for those of us who are cash-strapped, but faking the main logo, the "made in USA" rear decal, and the neck plate is a step too far for me..

There are all kinds of bootleg copies on that site. I've spent some time looking over what's available and I wouldn't drop my hard-earned cash for anything there...and keep in mind I bought a Brice from Rondo that I like! :lol:

The headstock shape isn't right, is it? The pic makes it look like kind of a 4 string take on the SR5 headstock.
