Gitison Les Paul "The Paul" copy from Hungary

guitarz.blogspot.com:

The headstock logo kinda makes you do a double take, doesn't it? Walking a very fine line between copy guitars and outright forgery, this Gitison "The Paul" copy is a Hungarian made guitar, the work of one Mr. Tibor Turcsak (see another one of his guitars here).

This particular example of his work has a Honduras mahogany body, a flamed maple neck, and German-made Shadow humbuckers.

Currently listed on eBay with a starting price of €350.

Thanks again to Zirig Árpád for alerting me to this eBay auction.

Gitison Holy Explorer with more than a touch of the Blade Runner to it

guitarz.blogspot.com:

Take a look at that headstock logo. It looks a lot like "Gibson", doesn't it? However, it actually says "Gitison". This guitar is a Gitison Holy Explorer handmade in Budapest, Hungary, by Tibor Turcsak. Although the name and logo would suggest a connection with a famous American manufacturer, the body design is a near identical replica of the Guild X-100 Blade Runner guitar. The guitar supposedly is equipped with two Kent Armstrong mini humbuckers and DiMarzio humbucker in the bridge position which ought to make it more versatile than the Blade Runner.

Currently listed on eBay UK with a Buy It Now price of £880.

Thanks to Zirig Árpád for bringing this guitar to my attention.
