 I've been resisting buying of these for the longest time... but when a mint-condition seafoam-green Strat show up in the local used listings, I caved. Glad I did. It's a lovely instrument. The construction is outstanding, as has been my experience with high-end guitars from China, and the price can't be beat. Everything they say about frets and the rolled neck is true and the pickups deliver on the classic tones. Just a great guitar, all round. Fender purists might find the 12-inch neck radius a bridge too far, but I'm happy with it. (I like the 9.25", too. Never tried the 7.25") Bottom line? If you get a chance to check one of these out, they're worth a look, just for the sake of appreciating a really well-made guitar. ibb.co/cxwMF3y |

Huh, hadn't heard of those before. Look pretty nice, especially the tele with rosewood neck.

Very nice! Is that seafoam or surf green? It looks more surf to me (one of my favorite colors).

This one is definitely surf green. sirWheat and Riff Twang... Here's where I first heard of Shijie guitar (link below.) The coolest part comes at 8:30 when our host unscrews the pick guard and has a look underneath. |

Beautiful S-style. I was curious so I checked them out. Seems like their build quality is first rate. If you have the chance, maybe check out the shielding under the pickguard. The video you shared shows the entire cavity shielded with copper foil.

When I first saw the title of this thread I thought it was going to be about a puppy learning the rules.  |

Thanks langford. Seems like their online store is broken. I'm jonesing for the TLV Pro (tele style). Got down to the PayPal button and that's where things got wonky. I emailed them so we'll see if they fix it.
