Here are examples of less expensive investments, Chinese guitars. Get ten for the price of one.

Those TradeTang people must have paid a lot of money to have there ads popping up... I bet it is on half the screens that I hit while surfing the net.. I'm getting pretty sick of their ads for cheap (and illegal) copies of guitars. Just my humble opinion..

That Chinese '59 LP looks good!Everybody should being taking off truss rod covers and check truss rod(it's an L wrench truss rod not Gibby brass nut).They're gettin' better every day with their forgeries(should not be allowed in country).These gits would fool a lot of people.My son just bought a real '60 VOS($$'s)and I'd like to see if I could fool him with a Chinese one but I won't 'cause we shouldn't allow them in country.As far as that lock,I can see someone yanking on the chain and ruining the neck on a good git.I'd rather it be stolen in good condition.If the instrument is not with you at all times there's no way to prevent theft and in the chain lock case major damage.It's not a bicycle. The best, Ty M.

Talk about cheating. It says Setzer Nashville and has a White Falcon pickguard with GRETSCH on it, and it has a "real" Bigsby!

their ad shows the guitar attached to an amp, might as well steal the amp too.
