Near-identical to the Stagg M350.. looks a little less curvy though:

The Jazzmaster-thang is pretty nice, though.

I would never bother but it would be cool to see young kids picking up guitar playing this rather than a strat clone or some ugly bc rich

I wonder if the rhyming slang name is deliberate?

Ginko as a tonewood?

Very interesting, though the abundance of old growth in Eastern China would seem to be an eternal renewable source worth using for something.

I know a guy who could do that. He will even explain the entire process to you in all caps and run on sentences with no punctuation.

I guess any material can be a " tone " material if you can make a musical instrument out of it .. Dano uses masonite ..Parker uses graphite ... BC Rich and Ibanez have used acrylic .

But my guess is a 2 piece ginko body might sound better than a 5 piece alder or mahogany one....

nah, the stagg is a copy of a fernandes decade. these newer jack and danny guitars are copied from the jagmaster body shape and pickguard.

I had a Stagg for a while. It was OK.

Bit rough around the edges.

Yeah, Staggs are your real average cheapy guitars. A beginner wouldn't know the difference, they're servicable, but anyone that has been playing for a few years would definitely notice the difference between one and, say, a Squier.
