America is not the world....is it?

Post by Zantos »

I've had it up to here with America, but I'm in a quandary ( never used that in sentence before!). I love my Fenders and you can never have enough guitars, so if I want a nice comfy armchair of a guitar what's worth a go. I quite fancy a Levinson! Any suggestions?

They DO look rather nice. But I've never played one, so I wouldn't know. Sorry.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

When people start talking about America at school, I'm the first guy to jump in and say what I think. Probably not appropriate for here. But Fender and Gibson and shit like that did come from there.

And Apple, and Microsoft... Grr.

I'm a bit confused now... If I google "Levinson Guitars", the first thing that comes up is an electric brand called "Blade".

If I go further down, there's an American guy making pricey acoustics in Switzerland and THAT site is Levinson guitars, too.

Which one are we talking about?

have to agree with this, but the twist is the neck on my tele from ASH is from All parts.,.,
I'd go to ASH or guitarparts.co.nz and make a bitser to suit you., quarter of the price.
or just get a jap fender.
I lived in Amurica for a good while, its a great place. You have to take your sense of humour with you though.
