Re: Langcaster guitars....
They're possibly all made in china, or that's a scam, no one in their right mind would make a knockoff surely???

Re: Langcaster guitars....
Last time I saw my cousin who's just started guitar (he's about 12) he said to me; "guess what, my dad knows a guy who makes awesome sounding guitars out of 35000 year old swamp kauri with these really flash pickups that have distortion built in".
I couldn't help but laugh my ass off, thank god he bought my tremonti se and not a piece of highly polished kauri gum
He'd already got one of those chinese valve amps he sells though
I hope langcaster gave him a good deal, it probably sounds alright for a beginner anyway though.
