actually the guitars are now made overseas. i believe the last american ones stopped being made close to two years ago. i have never checked out the older usa made ones, but the guitar store in my home town carries the new line. i really like the way they play and feel. i cant think of too many guitars under 500 bucks that i would want more than the reverned buckshot. but i am also not a good guitar player, so keep that in mind. also, unknown hinson is a great guitar player and puts on one of the best live shows i have ever seen.

edit: grammar, bbcode fuck up.

Yep... I agree.
Re: guitar quality, the only prob I've really heard about is fret sprout due to the ever-changing humidity these guitars face on their trek to the other hemisphere.
Otherwise, FWIH they arrive set up well, no electrical wonkiness, and otherwise pretty much solid. Opinions on p'ups and pots are mixed, but at that price point it's all moot.

Looking at that picture it looks like the guitar has a TV Jones Humbucker in the neck position and a tele pickup in the bridge. I have a guitar with a similar set up (a lipstick instead of a tele in the bridge pickup position) it is hard to get a bad sound out of it.
Are the necks tele like or strat.
