I have a Vorg I purchased new in about 1974 for $380. It has a good thump for sessions, but is sweeter than my 1971 D28 for finger picking - a lot easier to play too. I have never seen anyone else with one. It has a bound neck and similar appointments to a D41 or similar. It remains my favourite guitar, and I know nothing about the brand except it says on the label that it was made by the Pearl drum company. It has a solid spruce top that looks like Sitka, and a laminated rosewood back and sides.

I have a Suzuki 12 string I bought in 1971 for $50, and it makes a great sound, but has a neck like a tree trunk!

I also have an Ibanez banjo I bought second-hand in the 80s. It appears to be a copy of a top line Deering, with rock maple neck and tone ring, ebony fret board etc. - it sounds great.
