I just bought an "excellent white guitar"  from China. Havent received it yet. Yes,the ad tactics are a bit too vague and misleading to the foolish or the over-anxious, (I like to think I'm of the latter) but to be fair, I must say that music companies right here in America did not provide any more specific information in their ad's than the china ad. They could be selling the exact same guitar as far as I could gather from what I read and saw pictured in the ad's.(If in doubt-Ask one,Ask all!).  In any case, what I did notice was that the American list price $2449-$380 , the china list price = $2069. I can make a lot of substitutions and modifications with $2069.  ( I was planning on building a guitar to start with). At worst , if the guitar is unplayable or not reworkable (yet to be seen) the grandkids will still be proud  playing a decrative recognition guitar and I'll take the $2069 and start over. There..  I think I've convinced myself that I was not entirely stupid!

Now, to keep you from hours of soul searching as to why you done what you done-

If you think your getting a $2400 guitar for $50 - $400 , Go slow! Think  long .Think hard ! Globalization-don't ya just love it!
