Oh my....

[legato]

Egad! That wood is horrible. You’d think that they’d at least paint it a solid color.

…then again all that lead would probably make it too heavy.

[cjj]

Is that covered in oak contact paper ?

I think it might be "Pergo"...

[jingle_jangle]

I think it's truly eximinious.

No question.

Is that covered in oak contact paper ?

No, it's garbage covered in ****.

Oh, and don't copy the photos. They're serious about their intellectual property.

You can have your Chinese Ampegs, Line 6 and VOX krapola. I will continue looking for REAL Made In USA labels on everything I buy.

I try to do the same as much as realistically possible. Sometimes that is not possible, however. To me, high quality comes first, such as the Leica binoculars I have, which obviously, is not USA made.

Is that covered in oak contact paper ?

I did that to my first guitar in 1969 to 'psychedeilcize' it!

Overproduction, not mimics ... right!

I wish there was an international law that prevented companies from printing lies.
