They claim they will build ANYTHING in 15 working days for a couple hundred dollars.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the website's desperate efforts to appear American, it is pretty clear that this is a Chinese operation and they don't give a monkey's what John Hall thinks.

Gust0o Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Some great copy on the site - really put my mind at rest: [quote]You know, it’s impossible for us to purchase all the original guitars: some are too expensive, some has deceased to produce. But we bought lots of public blueprints, we are not very clear about the origin of these blueprints, and we also don’t make sure of their accuracy. We spent lots of money on them, and we know there will be differences between the original and our guitars, but we will try our best to replicate the guitar as similar as the original![/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they're building a new custom instrument from the ground up or modifying an existing one, their best is the best.

Prime_BASS Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) Their website is a barrel of laughs. I wonder if they'll make me a aluminum or carbon fibre neck? Edited October 31, 2013 by Prime_BASS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
