I have been extremely curious about these Vietnamese IVYs
I have seen them on Amazon throughout the lockdown
let us know what your impression of the neck and weight etc
I am sure the pickups and tuners will need replacingEHD

Neck straight, frets even and placed correctly?
Btw I'm no expert, but those characters don't look at all like Vietnamese. Is this perhaps North Korean????"New stuff always sucks" -MeComment

Company website says Ho Chi Minh city (Saigon) Neck is straight. Mild fret buzz 1st. string 1st. fret little on the slimmer size but I think it's pretty good.

But you're right, the lettering does look korean.
But to be on topic, that color is SEXY!

Seems suspiciously cheap for South Korean though. Unless it is some aborted Vietnamese shipment for a South Korean retailer that went sideways and ended up on American Amazon instead.Originally posted by nexion218 View Post

Can anybody here read the Korean?

Way to help Destroy Gibson and the American Economy Gene!
Way to make a statement about the Vietnam war buying Ho Chi Min!
Nice job Comrade Kelly...
Seriously - looks like a sweet axe! If they can make it for $200 good on them. The Market rules all!!!!

Umm let's not get to political here a lot of things have changed in regards to the country since 1975. Reebok makes shoes there for instance. I have a pair on right now.
Wood looks to be a version of Mahogany. Perhaps NATO or something similar. Haven't really put it through a big amp but sounds decent and not thin. Plays cool enough too.Aint no pro but I know what I like....

My bet is the axe was assembled/finished in Vietnam and the truss rod cover was sourced from Korea which has a significantly larger guitar manufacturing industry than Vietnam.Originally posted by Adieu View Posthttp://www.youtube.com/alexiansoundsOriginally posted by crusty philtrumComment
