Mark2 -> RE: GSI Chinese Sample Flamenco Guitars (Aug. 29 2008 13:27:09)

Hey who knows, maybe they are great and will be a great deal, but they are unknowns at this point. LA isn't exactly the middle of nowhere though-you'd think if they were any good it'd be no problem to sell them locally. No return policy specified. They are claiming the reserve price represents a great deal, but since no one knows what the reserve price is, that's kind of vague. I suppose you could trust the reputation of the store, but since what's a great or even a good guitar is so subjective, it's a real gamble to pay for something that you may consider useless. quote:

ORIGINAL: Mark2 As tempting as it is to get a flamenco guitar that plays and sounds decent for cheap, you'd be buying a pig in a poke. Greg Rich, who used to work in the custom shop at Gibson and was hired by The Music Link to design their new guitars (the revived Recording King label, now made in China) has, by practice kept all the protos of his creations. Greg, of course, has built and designed some big-$$$$ guitars but these protos that he keeps are about $400 to $800 at street. I'm curious that Tim chose not to keep these protos. Do the auctions specify a return policy?
