Because if they did do that they would cost twice as much and nobody would buy them :lol:
Don't worry about it dude, if it plays good and sounds good who cares where it's made? I bought my squier J Mascis because it played better than every USA fender under $2000 at the same store :idk: Made in China, DGAF.

Yeah but the rifles have to be AK's, right? Don't tell me you're an AR guy. Imported Russian miracle of invention. So, think about guitars sort of the same way?

Oh wait, or were you joking about the rifle thing? Because I'm not joking. Well, only if you're comfortable. Tell me if you're not comfortable, because I don't want to do this unless you want to do this. And you're comfortable. Are you comfortable?

Anyone seen prices on these yet? Specifically the Mustang with P90s?


Not that I'm going to buy one.

I don't think the AK/AR thing works so well. A guitar made with the loose tolerances of an AK doesn't sound like something I'd be interested in. I don't get a lot of mud and sad in my guitars while in the middle of guitar duels.

Mustangs are just too tiny for me, the scale, the body, the tone. I've always wanted a good jazzmaster but I figure it'll be more interesting to build one through Warmoth.

Video of the mustang on osg. P90s sound like balls but I'm happy they did it. Wish the burst stang was maple block neck.

I think they are under 400 and made to mod. I'd get p90s sized hbs in that jazzy.

I, for one, think it's fabulous that Fender is finally making a Jag/JM with humbuckers and a traditional vibrato.

Space, Galil is nice, in fact, too nice to be in the cheap as shit category I'm confined to. It's sort of an AK variant, though, right?

People in SC are like, "so tell me how having the power to stop bad things from happening is a bad thing, again?"

Louderthangod, yeah I don't like shorter scale guitars much, either, just because I'm used to the longer strat and tele scale. Are you allowed to talk about guns in California? :p

True, those stories aren't reported in the news often.
