Hi Jack not budget instruments. lovingly cared for instruments that we have had for some 20 years. Made for us by Roger at fylde guitars and well treasured and loved instruments. Mostly used for recording, and very rarely gigged. Having to downsize, that's why they are up for sale. Also have a couple of fylde guitars, goodfellow and orsino that may be coming on the market soon. It's a bit like selling your children! All the best John
