Has anyone else been lusting over the new (and reasonably priced) guitar brands over at PGS? My favs are the Hanson Cigno and the Eko Ghost IV. I also see they're carrying the DiPinto that Burgs has.

droolin' over the Ghost. Wish they weren't stacked 'buckers though, would definitely have to replace those.

The Hanson guitars are made in Chicago, I met the owner, and got to see the whole line of guitars before their release to the public when I went to the Lakland factory to get my bass, they share the space since Hanson makes Lakland's pickups as well as pickups for a bunch of other BIG brand names. They are really nice guitars, the pickups are handwound in chicago, and the guy who winds them isn't too shabby either.

If the production run Hansens are actually MIA, that's a heck of deal.

I believe they are MIK, and assembled here with their pickups and shit. That's what I heard, don't quote me on that though

FYI, Hanson actually owns Lakland now.

The Hanson guitars are assembled, not produced, in Chicago. They are made in Korea or Indonesia, I forget which.

Yah I know. I bought my bass from them before they were one company.

Seriously though, especially for me looking at the Chicagoan, its like looking at the Sheraton or the Chicagoan, and I think the Chicagoan sounds way better. I still need to play one, but its super rad. do want
