Or perhaps it was and they've lifted their game over time?
I think you're right, Vince. Lets not forget how many big name guitars are made in China. They are excellent copyists, as were Korea and Japan before them. Maybe they've learned from making the real thing and branched out? I don't know, but its a possibility.
The tutor reckoned it was a real deal guitar with genuine parts on it, he'd played an example and was impressed. I think the only issue was my natural skepticism.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

You would struggle to buy the wood for that tele at $250? Looks really nice.

They both look great Rog, that acoustic is stunning. Only problem I have found with Chinese guitars are the tuners, I have 3 resonators that are Chinese made and have swapped the tuners out on 2 and will do the third as well. But you got a lot of guitar for the money ... congrats mate :clap:
