Rule 3: Research the Manufacturer.

"We're building a lot more guitars, so we have a lot more experience. We know what might cause trouble later on."

Experience is the best teacher in guitarmaking. A guitarmaker who hasn't been around long enough to experiment extensively with materials and manufacturing methods still has mistakes to make. The resale or trade-in value of an instrument plummets when the manufacturer goes out of business.

The simple truth is that a guitar without a past may not have much of a future.
