Under the heading of guitars and getting one or more to learn on.
I'm checking in to inform you of a guitar brand that got their start by selling on Amazon.
They are contracting the production of their instruments to two or three contractors in China.
Much the same way Gibson and Fender contract production of some of their products.
Firefly is the company I'm babbling about. No it's not a scam.
For someone like myself (just learning with much more to learn) they are offering entry to mid level
guitars similar in quality to Epiphone and Squier.
These usually need new strings and a setup.
Pricing is usually between $150-$250 + $27 to ship each.
They are even doing some double necks at about $400.
Just in case you're curious please consider:

It's common for the mgmt. of firefly to ask the mods. of the FB group to put up a survey
to get opinions from the group members about what is wanted or expected in new models.
The total membership of the group is now past 7000.
I joined when the total was about 1000.
It's been fun learning. And finding out how much I still need to learn.
