The scarf joint in the neck isn't all about strength it's also significantly cheaper in terms of the wood to make them that way. Less wasted wood less cost.

[@alfsmith4936]

It's too far down the neck to add any strength. It should have the join at the thinnest part but it's halfway down the neck on the ones I've seen.

[@Samstrainsofficially]

@alfsmith4936 the strength it gives comes mostly from how it positions the grain structures within the shape of the neck so there is a lot of room to play with where you put the joint along the length of the neck and still being able to achieve the same improvement, there is an argument for putting it slightly further towards the body to get some marginal gain in surface area of the joint as the neck gets thicker towards the body thus meaning more surface area. Looks like a reasonably made instrument really, but is that mans name worth that much? Probably not. The more stuff he agrees to put his name on and sell the more of it there is out there the less any of it will be worth in the future

You have to buy 70s or 60s stuff and then hope most other examples are destroyed. Even a 1970s Strat is not worth that much and adjusted for inflation it's approximately worth what it was new. If it's not a 59 Burst or similar you better buy it to play it and Harley Bentons are wonderful player guitars. Sickening that has to even be said as if it were some dirty thing to have instruments made affordably for musicians to use. The horror! I think the US president has something to sell you if you are after a collector item, that is not meant to be played because it can't. Most vintage guitars btw are not on the level of a well made HB or any modern guitar. Half the 59 Bursts have the neck angle way out of spec, wouldn't leave the factory today. Most are unplayable museum pieces, the ones actually used, where good guitars in the first place and have been maintained, set up, refretted etc.

I have no issues with my T(otalitarian)D(etection)S(ense). I any case better than people that believe blindly in what lifelong salesmen tell them, that sell the image of their faked family name, sell the feeling of excellence and exclusivity. That sell the myth of a self-made billionaire, while being born as son of a 400-million dollar daddy that pumped million after million into his son's business. That people got to learn as actor in TV advertisements and as actor in a scripted (= totally fake and unrealistic) Reality TV show where he PLAYED the role of a tycoon. That brag about (no need that they actually do) treating women like crap, grab them, kiss them, etc. to impress their (male) audience. That say whatever the customer wants to hear. That claim all is ONLY because their brand and their product is the best, unless it turns out that it isn't that the customers do not want it, then the statement of the brand is "We are not responsible for ANYthing" "It was all just a joke - locker room talk". Original Trump quotes, that is the responsibility of his brand. And when you have incorporated that consumer mentality well, you will be happy and believe whatever the advertisement slogans say. Because buying and NOT questioning makes you happy, and relieves you from the burden of thinking, of making up your own mind. Works great - Christianity (esp. the myriads of self-proclaimed mouthpieces of God in the US) live great (in a 150 billion dollar industry) with the exclusive promise that only through them you get a safe path to Salvation, to eternal happiness in Heaven, that when you believe ALL they tell you, you OWN "The Truth", the ONLY truth - no need to KNOW the truth, to understand anything about the truth, no need for further learning and curiosity. By OWNing The Truth, you are intuitively right in ALL you think, say and do. Only effort required: NEVER ask questions, NEVER doubt, do not think on your own. You get told The Truth, there is NOTHING else to know beside it. So the cult consumer believes what he is told. Trumpers buy his caps, his water, his steaks in plastic sealing, his watch, his boots, and and and. Muskers buy the Cybertruck and then shoot at it, because one truly needs a vehicle for the post-apocalypse (where the electric grid still works). I have no clue about guitars, but I guess that this is a decent quality china made guitar in the ca. 500 dollar price range without the Nationalist outfit. The signature costs 10,000 dollar extra. As it costs Trump maybe 10 seconds for the signature, he has an hourly salary of 3.6 million dollars. When it is really scribbled on it with a pen, then the guitar is unplayable, at the location where it is signed the signature would be destroyed in the shortest time. When they do a protective coating over the signature, then you cannot distinguish the hand signature from a printed one. Trump knows as salesman that from a 330 million customer market he needs only a tiny fraction of customers to sell his advertisement claims to buy his products and he gets rich. No problem when 90% of the people see through the fraud, 33 million customers are enough.

This quote is still valid: "There's a sucker born every minute". Mic (or should I say guitar) drop🤣🎤

@@RussReiterMusic EXACTLY! They don’t even see the ideological significance of that piece of nationalist propaganda, they review it like it’s just a regular guitar. But worse, by purchasing it, you support it. Very few people understand this. It’s sad.

[@ToneSherpa]

I hope it's worth like a million dollars someday. It's a very funny investment. I love it that you bought this.

With the trump tariffs this guitar will cost 25% more 🤣

[@happynow64]

Good!

[@DustinDollinsShinBone]

​@@happynow64Not good. The working class will pay for those tarrifs.

@@DustinDollinsShinBone His puppets will buy it no matter what it costs.

[@prsmantse1]

​@@happynow64you still don't know how tariffs work?

[@jasonwest6325]

not if manufacturing moves back to the US 😁

It'll look nice next to the Elvis plates between the beanie baby collection. 😂

[@MusicMike747]

It’s just a goofy novelty. It’s not making Trump that much. If it’s made in Asia with mixed parts, it probably doesn’t cost much beyond $300. Do the math. Maybe $1.5 million profit, absolute max. Future collectors will have fun with this. Think about this: today, one empty can of “Billy Beer” still brings $10 bucks.

I think it sounds surprisingly good, particularly the neck pickup. Maybe it’s your tone settings, but I think it sounds nice.

" . . . obviously this is a little bit of a gimmick." That's a funny way of pronouncing "grift", but the first letter is correct, so close enough I guess. 🙄🤦‍♂️
