Have There Ever Been Fake Koetsu?
There are as few trusted grey market sellers like 2Juki. I have always wondered why he can sell a Koetsu at about 1/3 of what the US importer lists it at. Yes I understand the markup is pretty high for the US side, and that certainly accounts for all of it.
This question is not about 2Juki, but rather a second hand Koetsu. There happens to be an attractively priced Jade Platinum on this site, and its from a long time member. It has caught my eye.
But I do wonder if there are Koetsu out there floating around in the 2nd hand market that are not real...fakes.
Any thoughts or experiences?

The pictures are of a legit Koetsu. Seller is in Japan, so you'll probably get a legit Koetsu. I thought the "Signature" model had the different body shape and metal cover with "lip" like the higher end Urushi & RSP, but it they might have made it like the standard Rosewood more recently - I'm not familiar with that part of the line. |
@mulveling ..Thanks, I`ve been helping my buddy find a cartridge that would be a step up over his nearly worn out ZYX Ultimate 100. He did buy that one and it will be interesting to see how it sounds.
Thanks Again Steve |
@mulveling....Nice catch on noticing the lack of the 'bump out' at the base of the cantilever shown in the picture 👍. I let him know and told him to double check that he will be getting a Signature not a Standard Rosewood.
