My son got a blueburst Johnson 6-string (acoustic) as a gift a couple months ago. It's not a bad beginner instrument; it looks a bit like it's built of plastic, but it's got a passable tone. He put a set of $23 strings on it yesterday, and was considering spending a bit to get the action set a bit lower - till he found the model online for about $70 (Cdn)
:-O
How can anyone - even the Chinese! - make guitars so cheap, unless they ARE made of plastic???
Weirder still, here I was going to start a thread about Johnson guitars yesterday and changed my mind. Open the Cat today and lo and behold ... here it is!
