Members seaofstrings Posted January 5, 2006 Members Share Posted January 5, 2006 Check these things out, they are hot looking guitars. Nevermind the prices shown on the website below, these are sold in the $100-$150 range, some lower. catalogue website Bound bodies, Duncan pups, and so forth. Anyone heard of these? Even on ebay they sell for under $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Trader Posted January 5, 2006 Members Share Posted January 5, 2006 This almost sounds too good to be true. Anybody here ever own one of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cadfael Posted January 5, 2006 Members Share Posted January 5, 2006 They might come from this company: www.saein.co.kr. Some of them resemble Brownsville/Douglas( from Rondo). I have also seen another new guitar of probably the same origin called Alex Chase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bgmacaw Posted January 5, 2006 Members Share Posted January 5, 2006 Their "WH-702" is interesting. There's a lot of basswood mentioned on the site. Light weight but how will that be tone wise on non-Stratoids? Who's selling them outside of EBay sellers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members A_Gitarman Posted January 5, 2006 Members Share Posted January 5, 2006 hmmm... I also recently ran across some of the PRS & Gibson knockoffs on Ebay under the name 'Alex Chase'. +1 on the Brownsville connection as well, headstocks appear identical.

Well, there is another ebay seller who is selling them, but they won't show up in the search because he doesn't mention the brand. This is how I found these guitars, he does show the headstock in the photos, and he apparently only sells B-stock/factory seconds. The guitar shown above has two days left and is still at $.99, shipping is $27 I believe it was. I may give them a try, don't have much too lose. The company appears to be very new, some of you may have noticed the acoustic section of their website isn't even setup yet. If I grab one, I'll come back and give a review of sort, perhaps a sound clip or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members miketlane Posted February 10, 2011 Members Share Posted February 10, 2011 i dont know why there is that price on them but mine was on consighnment at a guitar shop and i got it for 300. it is a flame maple green eletric guitar. it is a killer gutiar. the guy said every one that came in the shop would pick that one up love it and then buy a cheap ibenez. it wa sthere for 2 years and i finaly said what the heck ill get it. all my guitar friends like ti and say if it had the ibenez name on it it would be a 1200 guitar. the wood is beautifull and it has mother of peral inlays on the neck that are also very nice. you could not get this guitar from me at any price. http://www.audiolinks.com/WinterGuitars.shtml take a look but the pic and descriptions are not doing them justice. i only have one problem with mine and it is minor and home repaird. one pickup would squeal when close to a mic. i just soaked it in hot wax wiped it down and put it back on the guitar works fine .
