Members guitargod0dmw Posted January 24, 2008 Members Share Posted January 24, 2008 Nah just the the shops in my area... There are better shops...perhaps we'll have to go somewhere farther Good idea! I never understood how a shop can charge as much as they do, and not even let you touch anything. I got yelled at a month ago for picking up a used guitar at a small shop near me. They also charge full MSRP on everything...so they are way more expensive than any other shop in the state. I'll never ever go there again.

Members Thumper Posted January 25, 2008 Members Share Posted January 25, 2008 Thumper - what do you mean by "near carbon-copies" ? Ibanez copies of Fender basses are often referred to as Lawsuit models because they were so true to the original designs that Fender sued Ibanez. When Fender Japan started making basses in 1983, they started with reissues of the orginal '50s models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
