I wouldn't refuse Squier Classic Vibe from China, before they were moved elsewhere. Those older CV's from China were descent guitars.

"In the right hands, I doubt the audience will know any better or care if you play a Harley Benton or a Gibson" I've said it many times, I don't care if anyone in the audience knows the difference...

We've Reached a New Paradigm

In short: middle-aged hobby players. Kids left home, mortgage paid off, parents deceased, some money in the bank. I’m sure they won’t. In a live concert setting I doubt that even musicians could...

I like Gryphon as a seller. Not cheap but I have always found them to be accurate, responsive, and trustworthy. That being said.. here is a 2009 Wes L5CES in black for $8700. That would have been...
