written below with an open mind
There Are 2
Major Cliché's That Are No Longer True In The Guitar Business
1. You Get What
You Pay For!!!!
It's painfully obvious to me or to anyone who
is not intellectually challenged, today many large corporations, use
this tired old cliché to their financial advantage. They are
constantly pricing guitars at extremely high prices, so that
consumers will think they are actually handmade well built
instruments.
I first learned this fact back in 1991, I was
employed by Gibson Guitars. The president of Gibson, Henry
Juszkiewicz made this statement to me. "The
higher the price the better the guitar" "or at least that will be
the customers perception".
This may have backfired a little on him, due to
the fact that this artificial perception, that a production made
guitar has to be so expensive, has made it possible for custom
builders like, Myself, JET, Gledura, Benedetto, McPherson,
Dingwall, & Alembic to flourish. Simply because most intelligent
people, would rather have a custom guitar. Especially if they could
buy it for the same price or less than a machine made production
instrument.
2.
It's Just Too Good To Be True!!!!
That's another Bulls&%t Cliché, "The Man" & all
the large corporations want to instill in your mind.
(Don't you believe that for even one second
!!!!!!!!)
A tribe isn't a tribe unless it has one Chief &
many Indians.
The Chief is nothing without
Indians!!
The question you must ask yourself your whole
life is "Am I A Chief, Or Am I An
Indian"
The Indian will believe the old
"It's too good to be true" adage and go
back to smoking his peace pipe. The Chief will just go for it There
lies the inherent difference.
Some people play original music, They
are known as innovators, Some people play only cover tunes,
In Vegas they are known as Lounge Bands.
Now that doesn't make these people bad people,
But it doesn't make them Chief's either !!!!
Hell, I like to play cover music myself, I do
it for fun !!!
