Langcaster guitars....

Post by grahic »

I am just really sick of seeing langcaster guitars on trade me.... does anyone have experience on these guitars by the way?


I did some research on langcaster guitars and surprisingly the most of electronic parts were imported from China even the pickups....

They're possibly all made in china, or that's a scam, no one in their right mind would make a knockoff surely???

Last time I saw my cousin who's just started guitar (he's about 12) he said to me; "guess what, my dad knows a guy who makes awesome sounding guitars out of 35000 year old swamp kauri with these really flash pickups that have distortion built in".
I couldn't help but laugh my ass off, thank god he bought my tremonti se and not a piece of highly polished kauri gum :lol: He'd already got one of those chinese valve amps he sells though :( I hope langcaster gave him a good deal, it probably sounds alright for a beginner anyway though.
