Japanese cars used to be derided as junk, but now they are more dependable than American cars.Myrhafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340507405537605164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19129587.post-82272288117140387822007-12-22T16:59:00.000-08:002007-12-22T16:59:00.000-08:00See the comments here at Samizdata.

Billy Beck, I hope so!<BR/><BR/>It's interesting that if you adjust for inflation, this guitar cost about as much as my first guitar, a Tiesco Del Rey, which cost $19.95 in 1969. (I believe those online inflation calculators do not go far enough in estimating the devaluing of the dollar.) The Tiesco Del Rey was a Japanese guitar that was really cheapo. The knobs and switches were flimsy plastic. <BR/><BR/>Now a guitar by a first-rate company, Dean, is cheap in price. And Epiphones and foreign Fenders are also cheap. It's capitalism in action: over time prices come down and quality goes up.Myrhafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340507405537605164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19129587.post-28313235345104520102007-12-22T14:00:00.000-08:002007-12-22T14:00:00.000-08:00My bet: you're going to enjoy that.My bet: you're going to enjoy that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19129587.post-78974349808898777212007-12-21T17:38:00.000-08:002007-12-21T17:38:00.000-08:00Congrats!

He has his eye on a Gretsch Tennessee Rose nowadays. <BR/><BR/>Good luck!Jenn Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849654785544313839noreply@blogger.com
