Hi Pete I've bought three of these on visits to India. Only cost about £25 & ideal to play in the hotel etc. I give them to friends when I return. However as thanks a friend put a single coil pickup & a Precision bass pickup on one for me. It plays well & sound very, very good. I reach for it instead of my Strat, Tele, or Yamaha Electro Acoustic. It holds its' own in this company. Web site www.givson.com Bluesboy

How the big names got screwed Did you guys notice how the big names are getting screwed. Gibson - Givson, Gibtone Ibanez - Ebanez Yamaha - Yemaha Fender - Fendar Poor originals are being ra#ep by these counterfiets. One of my aquaintace called me up last week and said he bought a Yamaha acoustic and wanted me to check it out. I went eagerly to see that and then found it was Yemaha not Yamaha. It sounded pathetic. All open string notes were buzzing to the core. Poor beginner thought it was a good bargain for Rs.1750 until I told him to exchange it or throw it.
