Maunder Guitar with Solid Ash Body

Fake Chinese Stratocaster Review

I have recently been able to play a fake chinese 'USA Stratocaster' and have to say that I was amazed with the quality for the price. The neck is definitely maple and plays very much like a genuine strat. It is alot better than my 1995 Korean Squier but certainly not nearly as good as my 1989 American Fender. Still, for the price (around £150) of the Chinese copy, it is an excellent guitar. The machine heads and bridge are of an excellent quality, easily as good as the genuine US Fender. The pickups can be described as 'OK', nowhere near as good as the American strat but still considerably better than the squier (there is a slightly thinner quality to the tone). As a Fender strat fan its hard to be in love with a fake. As a guitar fan however, I love this guitar, its excellent and plays beautifully.

 I can understand the appeal of a guitar like this as its a huge saving and you have something that seems like the genuine product, on the other hand be cautious. The quality control will be nothing close to Fender and guitars will vary massively.
My advise if you are looking for a close copy is to use a chinese guitar manufacturer that custom build you your guitar for a budget of around $200. This way you are not ripping off any large guitar manusfacturer and you will have something excellent for the price and to your own specifications.

Let me Introduce myself

Hello

Thanks for coming to visit me.

I would like to share my experiences, lessons, challenges and successes of my life and businesses. I have and continue to work very hard building a business from scratch and feel I have something of interest to offer others starting up in business.

I am a music teacher from Manchester, England. Not very exciting so far ah? Haha! Well stick with me for a little while at least.
I graduated music school at 20 and started teaching in Colleges, schools and privately. To cut a very long story short I turned the most simple of business (teaching one to one lessons) into one of the largest providers of music tuition in my city, employing more than 10 staff and providing tuition to hundreds of students.   All done without loans or any start up help! just done by the old 'gradually does it' and a hell of  a lot of hard work.

I also recently started my own guitar manufacturing business, which is still in its early stages but is going very well and complimenting my other successful business brilliantly I would love to tell you about my experiences on

• Employment of staff
• Attracting and retaining customers
• Advertising
• Google presence and rankings 
• Customer service
• Finance decisions
•  + lots more

I would love this to be a place where people can ask questions and I can share what knowledge I have. I have succedded where so many have failed and continue to grow so must have something of value to share with everyone. :-)
