A $300 guitar can be good? Crazy good? Colour me sceptical as.

They actually play really well for the price. Nothing is super inspiring at $300 new, but these would be in my top picks.

nit picking, but if its a grunge guitar it should have humbuckers, if its a Jazzmaster it should have the Jazzmaster trem.

Very cool guitars for the money. I've put a Chigsby B5 on mine. Recommended. :-)

Similar to this guy's mode here.

I've seen Artist guitars around but not known if they're any good. Sounds like there's a few votes of confidence on here.

I had one of their parlour acoustics, was a great wee instrument and they're really good to deal with, bought a hardcase from them a year ago, was damaged in shipping, no questions asked on returns and they pay the shipping too...

Yes, but for that you get epoxy in the neck pocket, so therefore way more sustain. :roll:

Looks great for the $!

Watched Berg's video demo, it sounds alright too. :)
Had to giggle though, 'here's some clean tones'... (plays overdriven blackface) :lol:
