Are EBay Replica Guitars Good?

Taking a closer look at the eBay replica guitar of the ESP Kirk Hammett Mummy Guitar. I also compare it against the authentic Kirk Hammett White Zombie guitar from LTD

Sometimes, a cool guitar is more of a great walk hanger! Nice demo!

I recently bought a $200 ebay replica of a American Pro 2 Jazzmaster, It was mostly appealing because I am in school and cant afford anything real. Im glad to know that when it comes there is a chance that it isnt garbage.

Y’all tripping the LTD sounds rounder and tighter

Cool looking guitar to mess around on and display.

I was about to ask on that other comment if you could do a review on the replica, but you did it looks like

[Paulkaai]

What you’re saying is. It doesn’t totally suck. And it looks really cool? I was waiting for some Scott Ian dance moves

Are they technically just pickup covers, can’t you swap the pickups but cover them with those, or does the eBay one have active pickups aswell?

[JayBirdGuitars]

sounded the same...if I played that kind of music id save my cash and get the replica

[CaseyKoplinCk]

I have a couple i love them very much.

I’ve been wanting a John 5 ghost telecaster, but I’m not looking to spend the $6, 000+. I think I’m gonna take the $250 eBay route. Thanks for the video.

[CrazyGuitarGuy]

these are just pickup Covers... you can remove them and switch the PU without changing the Design!

[furkangezer]

Do you think getting a rep of a guitar i cant find the original of and swaping the pickups is a good idea? The rep is a 150$ lp style guitar and im planning to put pickups of about the same price, or should i just get a 300-400$ lp?

[thrasher]

How do you even find an eBay replica? I’ve always been interested about the LP models

[masonkertson]

How does the guitar feel though, the feel is the most important aspect to me. like do the frets feel okay, is the weight and scale length nice, etc.?

[AlfonseGambino]

I can tell the difference but not by much.

[randymiles-jw]

So a set of pups and most likely a better trem and you’ve got yourself a metal machine. I’ll have one in the ouija design. 😃

[stewarttomkinson]

Well sent all you’re doing is chugging. I don’t hear a difference.

[gabrielns-yd]

Does the floyd rose tremolo work well?

[patrickshannon]

It's not really a whole lot different than the expensive one the trem is a piece of garbage on the cheaper one and the pick ups suck worse but do a couple upgrades and you got a really decent guitar

[robertrisso]

The real pickups are a lot meatier. Betcha the fake has ArtecSound pickups. Could be wrong😊
