beater Bass guitar

This brand has gotten very good reviews, like "how can this be this good?" type reviews...I wouldnt know a 'First Act' from a 'Taylor' (my kids acoustic on permanent loan from his music teacher) but Ill get it over to him to make any adjustments. He's a published guitarist and his band was on "America's got talent" and couldn't advance because they tape on Sundays and his commitment to our Church as praise band director was more than the show. IIRC they even said that on the show. Great guy. This style is $200 retail as a real Ibanez so its not a stretch to imagine the same factory could not pump out clones for 1/2 price as white label guitars.
