CN guitar manufacturers can be good but not those on aliexpress
#AliExpress Guitars?

if you feel like doing so uhhh
hop on taobao or something
500 usd on the CN market will definitely get you something better than a baseline squier
it has english support ig
but yeah its def easier to use for asians
theres a lot of stuff very worth the while
some stores even occasionally have limited esp/prs stock and whatnot

NK
is an aliexpress based headless guitar brand
they cost around $450-650, and they’re great, not even for the price, thas all ill say

CN guitar manufacturers can be good but not those on aliexpress
they can be good on aliexpress too
u just need to know what to expect, and what to look for
aliexpress isnt any different from america’s online retailers, the only difference is its chinese; and not all chinese brands goal is to just make shitty shit for cheap and sell it off to u. a lot of them are genuine brands
with anything aliexpress, my approach is expect the worst, and prepare / know how to fix the worst
either u are very surprised
or u get what you expect
and have the tools and know how to make it better
zero fret
its just a feature that some like and some dont care about
u can see it on some acoustics
and other guitars
u also a pen guy?
im not, i bought some machined pens and stoped the hobby 
but id say the comparison isn’t similar
its more like
dunno , no analogy here
but with aliexpress
rely on reviews heavily
and also, communicate with the shop
they usually can do custom work
and make the guitar more to ur spec
on top of that, pay with paypal
and like i said, expect the worst
just be prepared to handle any issues, youll be fine with that mental approach
they can be very good out the bod or become fun projects, or headaches
treat it like a kit guitar basically
lamy safari always finds its way in every pen collection

NK
oh yea i actually love NK stuff because their things are so reasonably priced
same with hnd
restive gulch
same with hnd
hnd? never heard, fill me in
id even say NK is unreasonably cheap for what they offer and the consistency at which they do and the custom services
their biggest downside is wait time and communication
but the guitars themselves are unbelievably competitively priced
if they started doing non-headless and with tremolos, it’d stomp

cn brand that makes mostly headless metal guitars in X/V shapes
very very good quality control
price is kinda higher than NK but substantially lower than EU brands
also makes tube amps and cabs
and some normal V guitars
oh and very reasonably priced things that look good (this is 5k cny so 700 usd)
