Is this true? That's a $125 Chinese knock-off with the BLOTUS name on it. The neck's probably warped, the tuners slip, and all the other stuff that comes with a shit guitar.

I should know. I own a Monotone Cali Classic strat copy I got on sale for $80. I name my music project $80 Guitar. But I don't care. I do Fripp/Belew like guitar sounds. I just want it to make noise. It does. Mission accomplished.

I’m 67 and started playing during Covid. It’s fun just to make sounds. I do still aspire to “coolest guy in the nursing home.”

Geoff has a really nice post on it if you haven’t seen it. He’s an absolute guitar aficionado.

If the quality is all that the buyer gets everything they deserve.

Ok, I went to the site. They are selling them for $1500, but if you want it signed, it is $10K

Those are most definitely made in China, and you can buy them all day for about $200 each. Maybe $250 with the custom inlays. This is worse than the watches.

I have no words.

$8500 for Trump to scrawl on it? At least the tariffs aren’t likely to apply to them. I was just surprised his face wasn’t on it somewhere.

The amount of shit he pitches to these rubes amazes me. How do they afford it in this horrible economy? 🙄
