        Isnt that just a badge engineer brand for some Euro chain's Chinese generic low end fare?

        Sort of like the Member's Mark or Kirkland of their music gear. Just with lower standards?

          Yes that is exactly right
          How intuitive

          Imagine a large European online retailer having a "store brand"
          Budget friendly, nice quality, no sharp fret ends

          How dare they sell those so inexpensive
          Shame and smug replies surely will ensue

            I can't believe you would be so honest. It's unthinkable really.....

                  They aren’t great guitars by any stretch but they are playable guitars. Thomann does a good job with the QC given the crazy low price point.

                    You mean like when Walmart starts making their own guitars?

                      That guy can sure play!
                      I'll pass on the guitars though. Looks like a good deal for those in need of some cheaper quality.

                        I'm sure that's the idea. The second idea. First is $$ ALWAYS. But I have to investigate these things, as the Queen of $99 Guitars!! Not literally, (I'd say up to 3 or 5), and Uncle Jeff knows. I think I would like a Wolf, though. Didn't know that was Garcia's. And I know I love my HardTail Select.
