andreww Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I wouldn't say my watch addiction is over, I just haven't seen anything of late that has turned my crank. However, there is one rep that has been calling my name enough to make me finally pull the trigger. Not exactly a watch though! Can't wait for this beauty to arrive. Here's my QC pics...

andreww Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Yes indeed. Just like Jimmy Page. And it doesn't take four hands to play it, just two quick ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielv2000 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Nice. Where does one get one of these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 aliexpress.com or tradetang.com are the places I've found them. They were a lot easier to find until recently when they started to be removed from sites like ioffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hey Andrew long time no see, good to have you back. I remember another member (Submariner 04?) bought a rep guitar many years ago and he was very happy with what he got, I hope it is everything you are looking for.

andreww Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Hey Ken, I've always been around, just haven't been posting much lately. As for the guitar, 90% of what you see in any music store comes out of one of a handful of plants in China. So I would expect that these guitars are pretty much on par with those guitars and it is very likely they came out of one of those plants as well. Guitar construction isn't rocket science, and the actual construction of a cheap guitar and an expensive guitar is often quite similar. Where they differ is in the types of wood used. Expensive guitars will use a solid piece of African Mahogany with a half inch, 2 piece maple cap. A chinese guitar will have a 3 of 4 piece basswood or alder body, with a multiple pieced maple cap that is covered with a very this veneer to provide a decent looking finishing surface. Does all this affect the sound? Debatable. But its the difference between owning a Timex or a Rolex. Both tell time effectively, one is just crafted a lot more finely.
