Dig it, nice collection my friend, about the same number as me. You must have the nicest guitar collection in Korea by far. I'd like to get on that bigsby equipped 335 (what kinda pickups?) and your spruce top looks real inviting too. My flat top is a 70s Aspen from Japan - looks, plays and sounds like a D35. Wish I could go to Japan to shop.:(

Hey Seif, it just occurred to me that you might be able to clear up some controversey around here concerning the origins of some Korean guitars. Alot of folks around here seem to think that there are (or were) only two or three guitar manufacturers over there, namely Samick, Cort, and maybe ESP or Schecter that manufacture orders for all the other companies such as Agile, Tokai, Ibanez and Dillion. Can you respond to this? Do you have any idea how many guitar manufacturers there are there now and say five years ago? I have a Korean made Ibanez Artstar, Brawley Threat, and Dillion DS 100, all comparable quality to my custom shop Washburn and Hamer USA and am curious as to their origins. Thx:)

its really wel made, beautiful neck, but the pups arent to my liking, but then again, i prefer 70s strats anyway...

 

really well made, swap the pups and youd have a 50's strat lovers dream, for $120!
