Cheap (and probably nasty) guitars from KMate


I just came across a site that is based here in Australia called KMate that is an online factory outlet and one of the things they seem to specialise in is cheap acoustic and electric guitars by Karerra which I think is a Japanese company that makes cheap replicas. The funny thing is though that they seem to cater for a rather specific market with their crazy guitar designs. The image to the left is their "Triryche" guitar which is obviously based on this custom ESP guitar which was made for Queensryche I think back in the late 80's (Operation:Mindcrime was it?). The Karrera Triryche is only AUD$235 or USD$202, bargain!. Other guitars include the Axe style guitar and M-16 guitar which looks very plastic and cheap! But your kids are going to love it...

With that design and at that price, I am tempted to buy that thing, strap it to my back and walk around Times Square just for the tourist response. Nice find.

I forgot to mention they do very cheap acoustics too, like their ovation copy (AUD$75) and this pretty cool looking resonator for AUD$225! bargain! I'm tempted to buy one just to play some slide on!

Oh and if you do buy it, you have to put a video on youtube walking around Times Square!!
