it's true the instruments assembled in mexico are made with slightly lower quality materials. that's why they cost half the price, but in my experience they are not half the guitar. not sure what you're getting at with the 'fair' comment either, what they're capable of doing and what they're hired to do are not mutually exclusive. |

Good advice. I wouldn't buy over the internet either. There's nothing like playing through a pile of guitars and finding "the one". When I purchased my last guitar, I must have played over twenty before I found an "81 Gibson Epiphone that suited me feel wise.

I've bought my last two guitars from Thomann and haven't had any problem with them. they've been perfectly set up every time and nicely packaged. I've found that if I trust the name on the guitar I'm buying, I don't really need to play it before I buy it. Not to mention the prices for guitars here are ridiculous. I paid €399 for my Parker PM-10 which came with a nice padded gigbag and 2 free leads. The same guitar in the shops where I live is €564.

I meant the decision of choosing mine over all of the other guitars I played. I didn't make that clear.
I'm not telling you that you're wrong. I'm just stating why my guitar is special to me. |

That's a pretty broad question. fender and gibson have so many makes and models....some are absolute crap even if they have that name on them.(like my former guitar-the fender jazzmaster.)
here's short and sweet: telecaster-twangy Strat-bluesy and kind of twangy gibson-best for hard rock ..I traded that fender jazzmaster for an eastman guitar that sounds like a buzzsaw. I guess what I'm trying to say is "to each his own" and you should try these guitar out in person if you haven't done so already. |
