Members Sordid1 Posted November 11, 2005 Members Share Posted November 11, 2005 They contacted my band about a partial endorsement type of thing but I am curious about the company and their products. I have heard the name before but know little about them. __Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just an initial thing so who knows if anything will really come of it but it sounds interesting. The thing is right now I don't really have any cash to buy a new guitar with so we will see how much they will charge us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members godofmetalguita Posted November 11, 2005 Members Share Posted November 11, 2005 they sponsor a few {censored}ty bands in my area. I guess its easy to get an endorsement through them. Why not look into it. I have, i guess all it takes is a phone call and they'll be all over it. I dont know exactly what the deal is. I really wouldnt pay any more than like $300 for a guitar if they were gonna be endrosing me, just because thats what they're worth to me. The guitars dont really interest me that much to put my name on them ya know. The only one that interests me is the invert (looks like a ravelle). But i have yet to play one. After the EyeHateGod release from my band i'm gonna go out for a few endorsements. At least try. Probably strings and guitars such as this...(i wonder if fernandes would endorse a metal band?)

Members angelspade Posted November 11, 2005 Members Share Posted November 11, 2005 yeah...the bass player in my band just recived his Les Paul style bass from them, I toyed around on it for about an hour and he has played it at our last four sessions. Very solid instrument, plays and sounds better than his "high end" Ibanez basses. very puchy and tight sounding bass...I recomend highly. I believe my band is going to be talking with them as well.

Members Inazone Posted November 11, 2005 Members Share Posted November 11, 2005 They contact just about any band with a MySpace page. They create the impression that their guitars are American-made, but if you read between the lines and start comparing their various models to other guitars coming out of Korea, the similarities are numerous. I suspect that they are like many builders, getting the bulk of their guitars from Cort or Samick and piecing together a few customs at their US distribution center. I could be totally wrong, but if it sounds too good to be true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was kind of wondering and I figured it was a marketing ploy but it's worth checking out. However if the equipment sucks I will not put my name on it period.
