Yes sir, its a bit illegal also non ethical, because i know that chinesse workers are working their a** off with minimum wages. I also know they tend suicide frequently.
With this point of view i feel little bit of regret.
But also i believe gibson guitars are overpriced, this experiment kind of proves it. If you want a real gibson, surely you should buy one, no question about it. But this is also a good guitar and if you want to learn about guitar maintenance, adjustments... etc. this is a very good option.
Yes, there is a fretbuzz but i do not think that its unsolvable problem. I just give this guitar to a decent luthier. But overall its very good guitar and very cheap.
