Son pulled trigger on two guitars they arrived today

[Duncanpup]

The first one is called an Ivy IP 300 TSB probably an attempt at PRS yet it’s solid made in Vietnam all mahogany neck thru maple top.
From just playing on it for $250 yea even the pickups are not bad.
He’s gonna install pickups and new pots wiring new bridge brass.
The tuners are top notch.


Second one is tele clone from some company called effin guitars alder body rosewood fret this was used $185 this is the project upgrade.
Just amazed at for the price you pay then few hundred in upgrades you are still ahead in saving cash.
Just putting this out there if you’re looking.

1. It's the golden age of cheap guitars. The IYV guitars have a great reputation

The quality of import guitars and parts and pedals is amazing these days. Harley Benton is another great budget brand - heard mostly great things about them.

You and your son rock on with those new acquisitions.

Thank you , my days collecting are over I’m MIJ enthusiast yet today I’m amazed at selection and especially with this IVY quality.

3. And this is first time I've ever heard of these two brands.

The neck thru on Ivy I’m like it’s impeccable work the guitar period and our Asian luthiers like japan they will only get better.

5. They Have A Rickenbaker Knock-Off

The IRK-300. They're on backorder with Amazon with no projected availability.
Only $169. If they had a 12 string version, I'd order one and take my chances I'll get one eventually.
I looked at their website. Pretty sharp guitars for the money.
