Remember those, from the 80s?

Were those Korean or Japanese?

The ones I saw were Korean.

Cheers, Tim

Some of them aren't too bad. Bet they came out of the same factory as Hohner (probably Samick, in other words)

I had a buddy back about 15 years ago that had a black one. Played and sounded really nice. He had bought it new for $150. Might check into that....

Have a JB Player Tele copy I got at a pawn shop for $100 about 4 yrs ago.

Fantastic neck!!
Flatter radius maple w med jumbos. Now have it on my parts Tele (WD body, quality components, pups).

I read after I bought the JB, that Roy Buchanan liked some of the JB's for their necks.

Don Mare??
