Members Chorused Clean Posted July 14, 2005 Members Share Posted July 14, 2005 Will Gene ever start making his guitars again under a new brand name? How did he manage to sell the name to Ed Roman without at least retaining some creative control of the product. I have heard that the "Baker" guitar is really now just a fancy Korean guitar with a name. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chorused Clean Posted July 14, 2005 Author Members Share Posted July 14, 2005 Hmmm. On H.C I have read alot of reviews that appear to describe it as mainly a cosmetic clone, without any of the "Mean Gene" tone or quality of craftsmanship the orignal Bakers had. Did Ed Roman tell Gene he was going to market an under $1,200 version of his masterpieces? Sounds pretty sketchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard an ETA yet, but we know things are in the works, at least. Somebody might have an idea over at TGP. Gene posts there sometimes, too.
