This is a very odd make of guitar - firstly only Japanese were any good (all Korean builts were considered crap), now the Korean ones are now also good but the Chinese/Indonesian ones are crap. Oh and bye the way, the Canadian ones are also crap except for the Ricky copies which are rarer than hen's teeth so can't possibly be crap. What a bunch of bull - I have a Canadian Korean built Love Rock that has been given 100% thumbs up by a guy that has 3 top notch Les Pauls. How can anyone follow all this bulls**t, if it plays good, sounds good and holds up, good enough surely?
