Re: Anyone have a Lori brand guitar?
I have no solid info at all. Been searching the net by brand, location and style but no results. I don't even have any of the tags that came with it. Started searching on collectables and found that some Japanese made guitars from the 80's were high quality pieces. <br /><br />I'm going to pick up some new strings and a can of electronics spray cleaner for the pots. They seem to have developed a lot of crackle and drop outs over the years from non use.<br /><br />Now that the basement is finished off nice, I have a place to play. Got out the amp and guitar cases, started cleaning everything up. Man, old electronics don't like being stored in a basement! <br /><br />One nice part of spending the extra $$ on insulating the ceiling of the basement is that my little amp doesn't bother anyone when I have it cranked. <br /><br />Bought my son a Rogue brand dreadnaught style acustic for Christmas. Ordered it over the net sight unseen and sound unheard. It got good reviews as a beginner guitar and I didn't want to spend a lot to find out it was a passing phase he is in. Anyway, I tuned it up and what a beautiful sound it has. My chin hit the floor. Kicks the butt of my Yamaha acustic that is now "aged" at 30 years old. Not a fancy guitar, but high quality build with all the right high grade hardware. Low easy action. Just a great all around guitar.<br /><br />I would really like to have a nice vintage American made ax from the 50's or 60's, but I'm not going to spend the bucks for a collectable (and they all are from that era).<br /><br />So for me it's just no-names that play well, keep tune, good pickups, and adjustable bridges. A quality built guitar is a great playing piece no matter if its a big brand name or not. <br /><br />Maybe I'll post a pic of the Lori Les Paul later this week.<br /><br />G'night. <br /><br />Careful with that ax, Eugine....
