Estaban has no problem telling people that his guitars are top quality when in fact they aren't worthy of a good roaring fire.

I really feel sorry for the suckers who buy those things. |

I tried to tell the customer they would be ahead by just buying a cheap guitar from me instead of wasting good money on a POS. |

| | | | Someone gave me one. Unplayable because the bridge is about a quarter of an inch out of place.
To me, the unforgivable sin that Esteban has committed: All of the potentially good musicians and the beautiful music they could have created were squashed by trying to learn on a POS guitar.
I hope the man enjoys his money in hades. |

If it is being sold on infomercials that should already be a red flag. 99% of the stuff sold that way is garbage.
