Big Bill Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Man, I can't imagine spending $5 on a set of stings just to find out that they're fake. I hope the Bureau is getting involved in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really did hear they sounded and played good though... Well lets say this, if you have played one you wouldnt be typing that. Jap guitars are amazing, is ther really any bad jap guitar?

NeoConMan Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 The kid has been watching his threads Sparky. I've never seen a bad Japanese guitar made past 1980. Fender and Gibson made in Japan to this day are great pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Lister Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Are the strings any good? Strings are just common wire from big spools that someone wraps a nice little ball end on and then puts in fancy little packages. Most wire is made in China or India --- for a list, take a look here: wire manufacturers listings How often do we "get what we pay for?" Sometimes I buy generic or store-label products. Most equal or are superior to the Big LOGO brand (because it's often the same Kellog's corn flake in a XXXXX box). So we're paying a premium to Big Logo..., to spew propoganda back at us to buy even more..., and that's really about all. So did you buy a fake, or did you buy the very same wire? Clearly you paid Big Logo price markup -- b/c you thought you bought a D'Addario. But how do you know that a D'Addario is anything other than a D'Acheerios? What makes it better if the wire is the same China/India made wire? I'm not saying counterfeits are okay. I am pointing out that buying LOGOS is a fools bargain (and it's a foregone conclusion that somewhere someone -- right now it's those savy Chinese -- will prey upon all ye who art foolish). Hit every BLUE NOTE baaaby..., I'm going to play on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
