Its a bold statement coming from a brit but its simply is the truth. I play an Anderson cause there the finest guitars I've ever played. every pedal i own is made in America barring the lazy j cruiser, but thats made by an American!!
alright I've got a British made amp but thats only because i can't afford a two rock! (I wouldn't touch a Marshall with a stolen cock) and my dream acoustic would be made by Collings.
So come on fess up how the fuck do you guys do it?

We're given stat charts at birth. Some people just max out their INT, thus the awesome shit.

Because everyone takes their country of origin for granted.

Because you forgot to buy a Vox or Orange amp, DAM, Pigdog or Ghost pedals, Gordon Smith, Patrick Eggle, Burns guitars...
Paul Fischer builds a mean classical BTW.

I've had an eggle electric and a D*A*M drag n fly and wasn't impressed with either, lost a fortune on the guitar. the Patrick James eggle acoustics look good though it has to be said!
