Anyone ever heard of www.guitar1234.com ? Are these Chinese made imitations? Every guitar, whether Mexican, American, deluxe, is selling for $300. Must be chinese trash.

Is it even legal to put the Fender name on chinese trash imitations?

Or maybe they simply take your money and don't send you anything??

Good luck getting your money back from China.

I am not surprisred. The Chinese are good at producing clothes, purses and watches that are imitations.

One reason I would not buy from this site would be; cheap material, cheap labor in the build quality (mass production) and simply because it's not a Fender.

They basically duplicated the Fender specifications and used cost effective material and labor. They are also aware that many Americans will buy products because it has the name on it...

I won't make any comments on the whole Chinese issue other than that I have played some Chinese made instruments that were very good guitars. The thing I find interesting about this site is that the Squiers they carry are actually OVER-priced. $298 for a Squier Standard? Wow... Also...they accept Western Union for payments? That's -never- a good sign.

I have nothing against Chinese made guitars at all but I would -NOT- order from that website.

Just my own $.02 worth,
Jim

Everything is $298. From Squier to American Deluxe. Maybe it makes it easier for them to remember the prices :lol: This proves that all their guitars are the same low quality.

These rules apply to what you are saying considering its out of country. If they do not send you a guitar OR send you the wrong one. You could get a refund with NO EXCEPTIONS. You can get your money back if something like ^above^.
