I've never heard a bad word about Feline! So them!

I read this everywhere on here, but when members are flush with £2.5K, they throw it at a company that doesn't give a monkeys...

Odd.

OK - hold onto your hats ....big announcement coming soon.

I'm going to have a big pre-Xmas blowout sale of all the guitars we have in stock other than the 25th Anniversaries.

Some of those guitars can be seen here: http://www.felineguitars.com/shop/shop_guitars.html

I'll only post it here on the Fretboard Forum. 

Also from every sale I will donate £20 "on your behalf" to the Fretboard funds

If you get more than 1000 views of your thread I'll do one of my fretboardized joke songs for it

This threads at 750 views... will a song be coming here too?

My list of rarely, if ever, criticised:
Squier
Epiphone
Yamaha
Feline

The first three because they are phenomenal for the outlay and the last one because they are phenomenal, period!

Fuengi

Faith in the acoustic world, rarely heard a bad word said about one.

If there is a better built guitar than an Anderson, I would love to see it.

There aren't many at all.
I've been around their factory and the attention to detail they put in to everything is impeccable.

Levinson blade make superb guitars.  
I like old tokai and yamaha guitars .

Another vote for Yamaha, as a large/long established brand who've been consistent over the years.

And Reverend for a newcomer building a reputation - especially as they've been striking out in new directions with original designs and features like their bass contour control. They've also managed the Eastern production line arrangement well, with all instruments getting a final fettling in the USA.

Caparison are good. They can be a touch expensive though.

Dingwall was a very good shout earlier in the thread.

Taylors get a good rap

I'm hoping if it's in the classifieds it will get more than the 7 views it'd get in Made In UK.

I have to admit, I'm struggling to think of a "perfect" manufacturer of guitars. I mean, I'm a bit of a Fender fanboy, but they've made plenty of guitars I don't like. Until recently, it was as if they'd made a concerted effort to make Jazzmasters solely for people who don't like Jazzmasters!

I like the look of some Yamahas, and own an SGV800, yet I never managed to bond with it in the same way that I take to Fenders. It's hard to put my finger on it, as it's not like the SGV is bad in any way, but it's just not "me". None of the other Yamahas I've tried made me feel any better about them.

The Ibanez guitars I've played have been pretty damn good, but they don't really make anything to my tastes any more. I keep having a hankering for a Sonic Blue Blazer, mainly because that's my "one that got away" guitar. I do wonder whether I'd like it now, though.

I've only played the one Taylor, a 914, which was shockingly bad. I know of one luthier whose bread and butter work is repairing splits in Taylors, which doesn't exactly fill me with hope.

The Martins I've tried have been around 50/50 great/awful.

The British craftsmen I see on here make some jaw-droppingly exquisite guitars, but always seem to make the kinds of guitar that aren't for me. Can you even get a British-made, Fender-style Offset?

Makes sense, it's hipsters who buy them and hipsters only like things that they don't like - for irony :P

Yeah - the reading count for MiUK is pretty poor

For me the closest I've seen to perfection with guitar brands would be Patrick James Eggle guitars. My new 96 I have is stunning. Every single one of his guitars I've played has blown me away. 
His guitars have, long with the likes of Nik Huber and Tom Anderson. The best build quality I've ever seen. But with the stunning quality theres still bags of character. Not sterile at all.

Amen to that ... when you post in MiUK you have to duck the tumbleweeds :-)

What about Jackson guitars? Other than being pointy does anyone have an issue with them?
