    The ins and outs of Columbia House and one man who scammed them for 22,000 CDs

    Checkerboard 1982 Sunburst at Carter Vintage Guitars

    Looks like Guitar Center is getting its second wind.

    I predict that the GC "mid tier" guitar will be made in the Cort factory in Indonesia, look very much like a PRS and sell for $1,500.00 with a gig bag.

    I've never removed the pickups on this one. I assume they are factory original but I'll check and respond.
