When I heard the news of him being arrested I thought.........no, not another celeb being a kiddie fiddler and felt quite relieved it was hiring a hitman and drugs - strange old world but thats.....ROCK AND ROLL:thumbup:

 

Totally! If your shi*t's going to hit the media fan, it has got to be for something badass like this!

Well let's all join in lol

 

Mine is a K.Yairis YF-20 (New Yorker)

 

[ATTACH]168700[/ATTACH] doesn't look much for a £800 guitar but it's the way it sounds which matter ...

It's a bit like Jensen chippers. One man starts & finishes the build without any additional help

so each guitar is individual the same person then signs the label inside

 

I like that philosophy and the look a lot. I have a cheesy Marlin acoustic, I go straight to it past the more expensive giutars when I just want sound. Chances are my eyes will be shut while playing, unltimately it's the sound that counts.

 

But there's the odd one you wouldn't throw out of bed for eating crackers...

This is the best guitar I've owned and played, over 30 years old and the neck is perfectly straight and action/tuning/intonation is perfect

Gorgeous, I love the simplicity. Good sustain? Does it cut a groove in your shoulder with the strap?

It's supposedly to do with the selection of materials and quality control standards. Slightly curved grain in neck wood, and commonly (I am told and have observed) chrome coming off after a decade, pickup windings bridging, cheapo knobs falling off. If you keep your guitar in a case in a centrally heated house and aren't gigging it and playing it hard, a mexican one should last a lifetime. Otherwise you might very slightly regret it after about 10 years.

 

I also think the problems Feder hadwith teh mexican stuff may have been mostly sorted by now. I wouldn't take a 15 year olf mexican tele even if it looked mint.

 

I have amexican strat that's doing just fine after 10.

 

above all agreed

 

The first run of the Japanese strats were great - I bought one in 1985 and I was told they were better than the American ones at the time - I sold it in 2001 got what I paid for it

It's a bit like ya guitar !

When times are busy it sits gathering dust and then spontaneous it gets dusted off and strummed back to life leaving you thinking why have you left it this long!!
