This guy has been advertising on OSG for about a year now. Very cool stuff. Kent Armstrong pickups and Korean made.

A Mate showed me these. Fucking love this but I'd imagine the resale price would be terrible.

I Dig em! Especailly the reverberator. I guess they're also going to start a tele shaped thing.

Yeah I like the reverberator and sad feter 2.0
I cant seem to see a difference in the sad fester and the 2.0 besides color. But if were to get one itd probably be the fester, the pickup setup is perfect, bridgw bucker and neck tele pickup.

Hot damn! They make a funny shaped Epiphone version of a Goya Rangemaster!
I really dislike wrap around bridges tho. A jag trem on this, and well, maybe, but I'd probably still rather buy a real vintage one.

700 is a pretty solid retail price I think. they're hard to find used though.

The font for the brand name looks like something that would be used on a sign for a shop that sells overpriced, mass produced ancient Mediterranean artifact-looking patio furniture.

Looking at their site I see it's Pure Salem guitars but I can't help reading it as Jerusalem with a P.
On the whole they're very boring in an Eastwood way, vintage designs with as generic as possible hardware. The Reverberation model looks a like the awesome Motorik model workoffire made and it's the best of the lot because of it.

The other guitarist in my band was getting all excited about these a little while ago, because they're one of very few guitar manufacturers who don't mark up the price for left handed guitars (he's left handed). I'll admit that they're not exactly cheap in general, but the left/right equality is pretty right on I'd say.

Yeah, I can't stop mentally acknowledging it this way in the thread title.

I like the look of the Classic Creep and Tomcat guitars. When I will want to get another guitaar, I might seek these out. Resale would suck I bet, its a small company, looks a little too cheap, and also has that "60s japanese/Italian" vibe. I'm fine with all that though.
