Perhaps they'll focus on turning out imitation Levelends .

An old friend of mine who has known Naylor since early in his amp-making days told me the guitars were made largely of Chinese parts from the beginning, despite the "Reverend USA" name they used to use. The so-called factory is really an assembly and setup facility.

I was just about to post when I saw yours, Dave.

BTW guys, it's only the Japanese who switch their ls and rs...and it wasn't so long ago we were denigrating their products.  OTH all those Orientals look the same.  Funny, they say the same thing about gweilos (the equivalent of the N word applied to Caucasians).

i know it's only the Japanese, I was just following Uwe's lead from the old thread I linked to.

[dadagoboi]

Sorry, I missed that.

It IS much simpler to lump everybody into one big pile. Life is complicated enough already without having to split hairs. Work smarter, not harder!

"Orientals" might look the same, but they don't talk the same.  Gweilo is solely a Chinese word.  For instance, the Thais call us farang, and Indonesians call us bule.

I posted something about new Squiers at the Fender-section.

Is Gibson showing up at NAMM this year?

[uwe]

With what? The revolution?

[dadagoboi]

With what? The revolution?

Maybe the CounterRevolution.  A no bells and whistles relevant instrument

[Dave W]

Maybe there will be a Gibson booth staffed by Henry's creditors.

Here's the beta site for EBMM's "Gamechanger" doodad.  Not something that I can ever imagine using, but it might appeal to some people.  My head was spinning after I looked at the schematics.

Have to disagree on this on. There is one of the larger dialects of the Chinese languages (I cant remember which, maybe from either the Sechuan or Yunnan provinces) That pronounces L's as R's.

Hey Ken, does that little old Chinese lady still run the Chinese takeaway near you on Hawks road?  Ask her for a can of Lilt for me will ya! Just for old times sake.

I stand collected.
