You have to admit it, Behringer makes a great generic product, they wait for the product's to be available and jump on it. I know some of their products are awesome for dirt cheap.

Any guitar company like that?

Ok,

guess i was wrong, I only have one Behringer product and it is great. I did not realize they were having problems. What kind of problems are they having?

My experience with Behringer stuff has been uniformly good. Very good value for the money. Generally no frills, but pretty bullet-proof.

 

As far as a guitar analogy, I think Seagull or Blueridge would fit the bill nicely.

go ask on the recording forum if you want all the details... i can't remember alot... but i know they basically 'borrow' their designs from popular, more expensive products... they got sued by boss for some guitar pedals they designed... they got sued by mackie a while back and settled out of court... and the FCC sued them for a million bucks for selling products that hadn't been tested by the FCC.

Oh well, as they say, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." ;)

i don't really have anything against them... i mean its pretty shady to keep getting sued and keep doing the same thing... but i own a behringer piece and it works fine... no matter what it was copied from...

 

but now you see why i compared them to the lawsuit taks.

Come on Behringer=crap. They might have a few half decent things but those are direct clones of better brands only less reliable.

Behringer of accoustic guitar = Ashton, Magnum or any other sub $200 guitar whose bridge is likely to split off the guitar at any moment.

Yeah, well, I hesitate to get embroiled in the debate, but if Behringer works for you, then great.

 

But the Behringer of guitars? Ooh... hmm...

 

I suppose any guitar whose design is copied from a pre-existing example. The majority of guitars on the planet after about 1930...?

I disagree. Whether or not the Behringer products are clones of anything, they are just as reliable, if not more so. I have a Behringer mixer and I have put it through a lot of crap and it still works wonderfully.

Believe what you want, but like DonK I've had fairly good luck with the stuff. And that's with years of abuse. I've got a powered mixer & An acoustic amp that I giged with just about every weekend for 3 years and except for 1 repair the stuff has held up OK.

 

It's certainly worth the money IMO.

I personally think Behringer makes some pretty good stuff at good prices, so if I was asked to suggest a guitar that compares... I would say Cort or Washburn. Good guitars at good prices. :thu:
