Edit: they do have a jazz guitar and an Ovation-like acoustic over 1000 USD. weird.

i'd say 'knock offs'...

and going back to what vegetable joe was asking if this company is legit, maybe it is but check out the following points:

- mobile phone numbers as contact info even though they have (as stated on their site) a head office in negros, a call center office in the U.S., and a factory in China.

    They have a call center in the U.S. but don't have a landline for their so-called HEAD OFFICE.

- I checked the business name registration and it seems that they're not registered at the regional and national levels. And to think they, as they claim to be, --- the largest music wholesaler in Southeast Asia, we’re here to bring you everything you need to get the most out of your music.

- They ship internationally and disregard the trademark laws that they have clearly and legally break.


So let's altogether do the - hmmm...

it would be best if the 'owner' is inside the gates...

its really common to see things like this such as contracting factories in china..(http://www.michaelmesser.co.uk/MICHAEL%20MESSER%20RESONATOR%20GUITARS.htm)

however my only point is just know what you're paying for..

By the looks of his website he's more of a middleman than an investor. But most online stores are like that nowadays. They'll process the order and they'll have it shipped to you coming from another country. Looks like their market is the US.

@stringman

yeah, middleman..and even with that..there is no guarantee it will be setup right..sure but @ 400$..yikes! but not all sellers are like that

pretty much all stores are middlemen..'but' the difference(im not sure in pinas) is the return policy..
