I don't know if the seller himself knows that he has a fake on his hands...otherwise he wouldn't be showing certain aspects as clearly as he is.

Take a look.

Not a Smith bass and the Bridge and TR Cap and Logo is FAKE as well. The KSD producers are not involved but this is a modified KSD that someone tried to make it into a Smith bass. This is the 2nd time I have seen something like this. The last time was a year or so ago.
