I was at Toys R Us yesterday and they have two aisles of Guitars and Music stuff, I never remember them having so many like 10 years ago. Also everything clothing and bunch of other toys were rock star themed. I also noticed for tweeners/pre-teens in the catalogs everything seems to be marketed to being a "Rockstar". WTF is corporate America trying to do with this besides make people buy a lot of shit.robroe wrote:that thing looks like something first act would sell at toys r us or target
I've no love for first act's budget line, but I'm definitely a fan of their midline and above. The lola is one of the most comfortable guitars I've ever played. It played like butter and sounded great.jcyphe wrote:I was at Toys R Us yesterday and they have two aisles of Guitars and Music stuff, I never remember them having so many like 10 years ago.

Also I wonder why Fender doesn't just sell their really cheap Squier stuff for 20 bucks cheaper and totally put First Act in the toilet or come out with some funny new bootleg designs for the kids that maybe the adults will find ok too. I have no love for the First Act budget line, I don't think it's very good. I think if Fender or Gibson wanted to they could make something much better for the same price.
they have the starcaster that you can buy at k-mart or wherever.jcyphe wrote:Also I wonder why Fender doesn't just sell their really cheap Squier stuff for 20 bucks cheaper and totally put First Act in the toilet or come out with some funny new bootleg designs for the kids that maybe the adults will find ok too.
