SJ guitars in Brazil...ever heard of them?

Sign in to disble this ad
I saw several clips on Youtube of some basses made by SJ guitars. They are more than Fodera-influenced. Does anyone know anything about them, or have one? Their website is down, but I shot the guy a message on Youtube.

Anyone have any experience with them?

Kind of like a Fodera, except...different woods, different electronics, different people making them, different quality, different construction, different shape...yeah, kind of like of Fodera...but not really.

In all honestly, while are always flattered by this stuff, it is also very frustrating that people feel so free to borrow from us so liberally...

I tried to contact them, to ask them if they had permission to so closely copy some of the Fodera shapes. I heard nothing back! Has Vinny seen these? I'd imagine he'd be a little miffed...
