        I keep seeing ads on Facebook for Hard Luck Kings guitars.

        Hard Luck Kings

        If you follow the link you will see these guitars are very inexpensive. So, crap, right?

        Now to be fair I do not own one. But have been looking. (As a side note I have four acoustics and three electrics. Someone I live with suggests I have too many. I ignore her regularly.)

        Here is a Tele style….it it on sale.

        Southern Belle

        THis guitar is less than 200 dollars.

        Here is a video of someone testing them out.

        What do you think? There are videos on the unpackage and play to get an idea of what they are.

              The price isn’t bad.
              Here is a shop in Japan that sells the LP style and Tele style guitars. The average price for the Telecaster is about $82 bucks and the LP’s are a bit more then $120 bucks.

              The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

              It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

                There’s plenty of stuff out there I’d always want to see it before buying.

                Quality wise I look at the hardware on a guitar, tuners (will it stay in tune), bridge & nut (good quality contact) electrics etc.. Plus how the neck is finished.

                You can get some exceptional guitars at fairly lowish/mid price points 2nd hand due to certain brands not keeping thier value as well as others.
