Don’t know anything about them. They’ve been around since 1994. I think they’re like the Squier. A copy of the Fender Strat

I also have a Washburn with a Buzz Feiten tuning system. I got that in a sale for £350, down from over £500. Also an LAG Electro Acoustic. That’s sounds so bright you need sunglasses. That was expensive at £600. I still have my first guitar, a West Coast strat that cost me nothing. Sounds great.

My first play of the day: Chris Squire - Fish Out Of Water. In my opinion this is the best solo album to come out of Yes.

First play of the day: Big Big Train - Ingenious Devices. Reworked and reimagined old songs. The vocals are still by the late David Longdon, but an extra live recording has been tagged on at the end showcasing Alberto Bravin as his successor.
