Clones and copies?

[Sascha Franck]

Dude I'm done. You seem to just enjoy arguing on the internet.

Oh, and you don't?

It doesn't matter what parts of the site I show you, you'll either move the goalposts or move onto some other avenue of attack.

You showed me exactly *one* part of the site where they were referencing "German guitar-making tradition" and that was it.
And I didn't move any goalposts.

And while I’m on a rant. The Strandberg Salen was 2300 map when I got it 7 years ago.
A few years later they raised the price 10% which is fine.
But in addition to that they stopped roasting their necks, and went to veneered maple tops instead of caps.
Which I get seeing that the new owners wanna maximize profit but that’s like 2 price increases in one.

 

[SillyOctpuss]

Oh, and you don't?

No I really don't. I gave you my opinion of their site and I'm moving on, that's why I told you to enjoy your hill.

 

[Sascha Franck]

to enjoy your hill.

Oh, I do. Nice view.

 

[SillyOctpuss]

Oh, I do. Nice view.

See. You fucking love it, that's why I can't be bothered interacting with this anymore. It's not a discussion to you it's a war.

 

[Sascha Franck]

It's not a discussion to you it's a war.

Wars are pretty en vogue these days, so I'm in good company.

Well after this I actually was curious about their lap steels. Fuck me running, for over 2k€ I can get 2 Asher lap steels plus the hip shot duo bender.
And I thought I was nuts for having bought Strandbergs.

The hipshot bender is >$400 already and having it built in would probably cost the same again.

I mosdef have zero interest in a bender on a Strat.
But in a lap I’d be into it. And it’s 350 up charge to have it installed.
And again Asher 900 bucks…that’s shit I’ve played and know.

How has this thread not sunk into politics yet?

Give it a minute.
You know us Germans have to have the last word.

 

[Sascha Franck]

And again Asher 1000 bucks…that’s shit I’ve played and no.

All fine. But the Duesenbergs are really excellent and likely a step up.

It got close there for a bit, what with the global economics lessons and all.

Andy, you're so fucking provocative!

That's why I stepped away. Can't be bothered with a professional argument tonight, especially when I know it's the argument itself the other person is here for.

And other people drastically over-simplifying things and stating “Fact!” Without anything actually proven.

They’d have to be reeeeeeally good to be better. Asher’s are fantastic.

And it seems to be common knowledge that Duesenberg Doucheberg guitars are partially made in Croatia. Otherwise we wouldn't be discussing about it.

FIFY

There's a reason that I've heard guitarists from NYC to LA laughingly call them Douchebergs...

Just these muso threads were people defend unscrupulous scumbags contributing to the Enshitification of Everything, like a whack-a-doodle religious cult

There’s a German comedian. I think, like one.
