I really like the Surf (Jazzmaster) and Blues Master (Tele Deluxe) models. If they were at the right price (I've seen one of the LP copies going for $295, so by all means, they are!), and if I could find one here, I'd be all over them.

I've never heard of them, but the hardware sounds good for the price.
Ya gotta love the way they phrased this though.

Hahaha, I saw that earlier, gave a little lol :pac:

El Pron I couldn't find a price list on the site? Any links for that LP? Also I particularly like the idea of this one so I can get all Steve Clarke on a budget lol

Would be tempted to just change out the pups and see how she holds up:cool:

On another note, I spend a fair bit of time in Italy and I find that in general "Made in Italy" is of quite good quality and I am not talking about the obvious designer stuff etc but have picked up toys and stuff for the nephew and they are all solid stuff y'know...

You get what you pay for. The inlays, knobs, and hardware look very cheap to me. Check out the fretboard pic on the V model... nasty really. They appear to be cheap copies and if that is what you want then that is what you will get. I'd skip unless it was for some experimental work.

Do I seem grumpy today?

Alanstrainor

Yeah i think i'll pass on these guys. My next guitar is going to be another Bacchus strat...but i'll have to sell some gear first. God damn it, i hate to say it but i've got too much gear!

Population, here's the site I saw selling them:

http://storesense4.megawebservers.com/valveampusa_com/Categories.bok

Scroll down a bit. They've added a V too. I've never seen that site before, was just using it as a benchmark.


Quattroste, not every guitar needs to be an example of high craftsmanship. Obviously, I'd rather a vintage American JM and Tele Deluxe, I just thought these looked like a nice stopgap.

And yeah, I had relatively unconventional work in mind :pac:

Cheers elpron and yeah agree with you about considering these guitars for a bit of a bash around and not taking them too seriously

Hey guys,

Just came across this forum in a search engine. I see you were talking about "Tuscany Guitars". Well I've just recently started distributing in the north of Ireland and looking to distribute them all over Ireland. Depending where you are based I have some stocked up north in belfast.

If your interested in any guitars or prices just send me a pm.

These guitars are not cheap copies.

Many thanks,

Phil Horner

Well, they kinda are, since they're relatively inexpensive, and copied from other designs :pac:

Could you post some prices here on the thread, or would that be bad business practise?

Thanks,
Rory

I hate to say it, but that site of yours is truly awful. If you sell the guitars, take your own pics and post them on the site, redirecting us to the manufacturer's site hardly inspires confidence.
