Is anyone out there familiar with Tradition Guitars? I was in a pawn shop this afternoon and they've started carrying them. I played a couple, and they felt and sounded pretty good. So I was wondering if anyone knew anything about them? I found a website.... http://www.traditionguitars.com/ .... and the pawn shop had a better price on the two I got interested in.

electra,
i played a tradition les paul copy a couple of months ago, i have never heard of tradition before, not bad, for the price , its a darn good guitar for a beginning guitarist,
it kinda reminded me of a cheaper version of a epi les paul,. but not a bad bang for the buck.

...a cheaper version of a epi les paul
What does that mean? Epis LPs span quite a price and quality range.

They are very likely Asian instruments -- which is fine, but should make them very affordable and competitive in quality to other similarly prices guitars. Is a pawn shop a good place to be dealing with such things as setups and warranty repairs? Where you buy could be as important as saving a few bucks.

i meant a low end epi

Shouldn't you be saving up for that Zemaitis? :lol:
Have a good one.

You're probably right, Mike!! I should be saving for it! However, I have a little money burning a hole in my pocket and that darn little voice inside my head keeps screaming........"MUST ACQUIRE ANOTHER GUITAR NOW!!!!" :D
