Guitar Center has its own Guitar Line (LAGUNA GUITARS)

jacksonplayer · 12-05-2007, 07:40 PM

I played one in the store the other day. It was ok, but not spectacular. GC appears to be going full-tilt on these, as they are all over the store--in fact it seems like they are crowding out some of the other brands. I assume GC's strategy is "vertical integration," to use a term from antitrust law. In other words, lots of guitars to choose from at GC, so long as you want a Laguna.

Ocean basses and Laguna guitars are GC-brand instruments. Notice the similiarity in names.

Ocean? Laguna?

And yeah, that headstock sucks.

Last time I was at Guitar Center which was a few weeks ago, I saw a few of those Laguna guitars. They looked pretty cool. It'd be nice to see one in a 7. I'd definitely try one out.

Yeah thought the head-stock was fugly back when it was on the old brawley guitar and basses. And I still stick my judgemnt WTF why use the brawley designs. I think that was one of the main reasons brawley did not take off.

Ya know, if they were half decent for a good price I'd say the headstock was nothing a coping saw and some sanding couldn't fix.

.......but it hardly seems worth it.

They look horrible to me. And not just the headstock, everything.
