Made In China???

So the guitar search continues...

I just received my T4 and should be able to find the time for taxes in the coming weeks.

Might be a tough sell with the warden but I am leaning towards spoiling myself a bit with a guitar purchase from my tax return money.

It has been one helluva year and I may have discovered a relatively affordable option here...

Eastman Guitars 


These guitars appear to be very well made and hand crafted by people in China of all places.

I have searched the internet and it is impossible to find anything negative to say about them...and they look fantastic!!

The antique style finishes they put on their guitars are old school classy and right up my alley taste wise.

There are a number of options for obtaining one.

A store in Rochester NY has a great selection...and even a few used ones kicking about...and I am not above that at all.
Most guitars require a break in period anyway before they start coming into their own sound wise and a few scratches here and there just saves me time!
LOL

There is another store in London ON that carries them but in typical Canadian fashion they are stupid over priced ...as in I could order one off ebay and have it shipped to my door and save about $400.oo...
I might head there next week though just to play something similar and see if they are all they are cracked up to be ...

It would be weird owning a guitar made in China...almost makes me feel guilty in a way...but shit...I am tired of getting hammered with overpriced big name garbage...and it is a viable option moneywise..

If I had tons of dough I might buy a Collings or something similar...but I don't..so this is the way I am leaning...
For Now.

;o)

But spells like this are easily broken  ...
