seems like a 'tricky' market right now for a new brand, - he could hire all the G&L people?, but I imagine they will be built in Indonesia

This of course after saying he was staying with Washburn after having the new one at the final Sabbath fest.   Has he sold that many to support a whole company?

Watched/listened to that this morning on my commute. 

seems like he’s following the Ola Englund/Zakk Wylde route but might be a few years too late. 

Nuno was the only reason why Washburn guitars had an identity after the 90’s. The Grover Jackson designed Washburns were some killer guitars but what have they done since?

Didn’t they move all of their production overseas and contract out the N4’s to a third party builder…?
