For the moment I can only post one song I posted a few weeks ago. I can't post anymore until I ask the writers of those songs for permission. This is a country pop type song I "produced" and "engineered" I played acoustic guitar, piano and drums. A good friend played electric guitar. The singer is a friend from out of town. The song was written by a local songwriter named Adam Green.

I would say that the sound quality is good but I can't because it was recorded with cheap gear.

Aww screw it, it sounds good........even though it's country.

Love IT!!!!

A totally new, unique design here. I think I have seen a guitar that is vaguely similar but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Oh well, maybe some of you guitar experts out there can shed some light.

Material color (lack of pearlized white plate) notwithstanding, it is identical to a Johnson De Soto all the way down to the position of the screws. Probably built by them. If not, I know where they stole the design.

If it was built by Johnson, I have one, and it plays well. The only thing I don't like about it is that the strings are a little light for my taste. I know some people like that for the ability to bend the pitch. As a relatively novice guitarist, I hate that for the inadvertent bending of pitch.

That and it took it more than a week for the strings to stop stretching like there's no tomorrow. For the first couple of days, the pitch slipped so quickly that I thought the guitar wasn't holding its tuning. Nope. Just very stretchy strings.

If you think companies like Gibson and Fender aren't up to their own "shenanigans" then You don't understand the world of big business. Don't you understand that every company makes copy cats of their competitors well selling gear? Do you even know who made the first Electric guitar? Should Leo Fender be banished for taken someone else's idea and making millions? Should every car company who came after Ford be boycotted? Should we stop going to burgerking because they stole McDonalds idea? Come on, time to wake up and smell the decaf!

Patents expire, and I don't drink coffee.

Karma, dude. I didn't say it was illegal (although the FCC flap is). I didn't say I was boycotting. I just don't buy it. Also, they break often, and are hard to fix. For cheap gear, I like Rane. In fact I just called them Friday to get replacement sliders for a graphic EQ I picked up second-hand. Some yahoo broke off the tabs, it's a 10 year old unit, but Rane shipped 'em same day, no problems. Good service, Rane.

OK enough of that infomercial. I only boycott one company: Nike. Not because of their labor practices though.

Or it's also pretty much identical to Fender's standard strat, except the headstock shape (which now that I look at it, looks about halfway between the Johnson and Fender shapes). But the pickups look closer to the Johnson as far as the position of the pickups and the height of the individual elements (but it's really hard to tell for sure). But then again, the bridge looks more like the Fender....
