Thread Name: Best Guitar for UK folk club?
Subject: RE: Best Guitar for UK folk club?
Vintage is a brand name of John Hornby Skewes. The only thing I had of their brand was a Romanian built mandolin. Very cheap and with slotted tuning pegs but with good volume for the money. Pretty much the same model could also be found in Stentor's range under the Ozark brand.
Harley Benton gets a mention here and I think that's one of Thomann's brands... Ah wikipedia on Harley Benton guitars. ~As well as mentioning Thomman, I find:
Harley Benton guitars are manufactured in around 20 factories in the Far East; these include factories in China, Indonesia and Vietnam. According to Harley Benton, they are manufactured alongside and to the same standards as guitars for major brands such as ESP, Fender, Ibanez and Jackson
I guess a fair amount of good value equipment can come under these labels for music wholesalers and major retailers.
