I know some people are snobby about buying guitars from anything other than
a guitar shop but at this price, you cant really argue

at this price!!

Even if the guitar body was made of cardboard thats still a really
good price considering, you also get a book, strap and gig bag!

Probably the combination of CNC machines and under paid Chinese
labours working in unsafe conditions. These imports are then allowed
into our market to compete against, more expensive items made by much
fairer employers who spend money on their staff and their staffs
working conditions. Talk about shooting ourselves in the foot! The
more cheap goods we buy the harder it is for our manufactures to
compete so, the less they pay us therefore, we ending up having less
to spend so buy more cheap goods!

Conscience can be such a spoiler. But its still hard to resist.

Out of stock according to the web page! I might be tempted - I could
do with an acoustic for emergencies (i.e. power cuts) ;-)

Ive seen things you people wouldnt believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

Good point, but the battle was lost years ago. I used to boycot
products that were made in countries with poor HR records but it soon
became impossible as everything is made in China now!

That looks like a classical guitar. The tesco one I think is steel
stringed.

Try Amazon then.

Theyve got a Yamaha F310 with all the bits (strap, tuner, spare strings,
gig bag and etc) for Ł74.

Which means youre paying about Ł50 for the guitar.

There is absolutely no shortage of guitars of perfectly reasonable quality
on sale on the net in the UK for next to nothing.
