The only reason I know about it is cause of the car I have.
THIS ONE IS COOL TOO
That too is a copy of another guitar, I think from the same company. They're pretty much all copies of other guitars, as that's what they do in China. Seldom do you see something truly original (in guitars) from any of these Asian countries.
It's not that they can't - it's that they want them to be able to sell. These are what sells. All those Asian countries have a huge history of crafting fine stringed instruments. So, they could easily make something new - and once in a blue moon they will.
They're generally good value from the cost - so I'm given to believe. My IYV Les Paul is really good for the price. In fact, it's exceptionally good for the price.
We're kinda in a guitar heyday, where you can get some pretty good instruments for not a whole lot of money.
The first one kind of reminds me of a v neck sweater or something like that. The other one looks like a mandolin shaped guitar to me. I don't remember seeing one of those before.
Oh, there's a number of guitars with a single cutaway and scrollwork at the top similar to/exactly like it. I wish I could recall the name. Paul McCartney played one for a while, around the same time he played the ES-335-ish model.
