Snork Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 kinda reminds me of a slightly nicer version of a squier mini strat...but cooler lookin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyB Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 I think they make cheaper ones... The kind they sell at wallmart. It's a strat-style electric guitar, a small amp, cables, picks, strings, and a tuner all for like $80. Quality is soooo poor, but it's not that bad if you're just starting out.

krazyderek Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 that thing's a fixer upper right out of the factory in "mint" condition, good guitar to mess around with and try out your skills at repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otgordin Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 I found this on the same site: mahogany body, maple neck, grover tuners, and what i am assuming to be gibson 490 and 498 pickups. 350 bucks? Kramer SG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Cheap parts, plywood body, crappy uners, bad pups. and most important... cheap Korean labor. Korean labor is not that cheap any more. I think you'd be hardpressed to find a Korean guitar selling for less than $400. That's why many companies are looking to countries like China and Viet Nam for their cheapest models. I have a $230 Jay Turser 335 style guitar, and it is actually pretty hard to fault. Although the construction is a little chunky, the wood and hardware is quite acceptable. And to my amazement, the pickups sound friggin' great. My only criticism is that it lacks the "vibe" of a really well made guitar. Turser sells a strat for $100 that's really pretty decent. I've played one, and it's not cheesy in any way. As for this $50 wonder, it's tough to say. If you took this guitar and upgraded it, you'd have expensive hardware on a crappy piece of wood. That's a waste in my opinion. Check out this new Turser: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...8&category=2384 -Sven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why many companies are looking to countries like China and Viet Nam for their cheapest models. Yup, what you say is true. I should have said Asian labor in general. I mentioned Korean labor because as far as I know, that Kramer is made in Korea. Turser sells a strat for $100 that's really pretty decent. I've played one, and it's not cheesy in any way. As for this $50 wonder, it's tough to say. If you took this guitar and upgraded it, you'd have expensive hardware on a crappy piece of wood. That's a waste in my opinion. I think the price is lower since MusicYo sells direct, whereas Jay Turser's are sold through retail channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 I think the price is lower since MusicYo sells direct, whereas Jay Turser's are sold through retail channels. The Turser's are all over eBay. That's where I got mine. I think the list was like $300. The solid-bodied ones are stupid cheap - not as cheap as that Kramer though - I'd put that in the "sacry-cheap" category. It got decent reviews at Harmony-central. -SVen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapbarstrat Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 I still think it would be a waste of my hard-earned 60 bucks. Does that price include shipping ? Probably made in China. But I'm plenty guilty of buying stuff from China (I just sent 67 bucks to Harbor Freight Tools ) Who knows, maybe you can part it out and sell the the parts on ebay: Body : $30.00 neck: $30.00 Tuners: $10.00 Pickups: $10.00 bridge: $10.00 Nah, that ain't worth the trouble.

I believe half of us could not pump out the amount of product for time vs. dollar and come close to the quality in volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syxxstring Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 remember this is factory direct pricing as well. by the time your music superstore buys this and vomits it back to the public its going to be 100-150. More if the slimeball behind the register is of the quality they desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
