Tuscany guitars?
« on: September 03, 2009, 07:42:10 PM »
Just recently came across an advert for Tuscany guitars, made in Italy.  They sell a line of various copies/replicas/knockoffs of various axes we all hold near and dear (LPs, Strats, Teles, Vees, etc)  They look fairly decent........the video demo on the site of The Rush (LP copy) sounds decent....and the prices seem hard to beat.  Anybody have any experience with or knowledge about this company?  Must admit to harboring a bit of lust for the Arctic and burst Rush series axes.  Wondering if they're a new company........couldn't even find a review of their guitars on Harmony Central (not that I necessarily trust the reviews there, but.....)

Says they're made in Asia. From the spec, look, fit/finish and price I'd say they're made by the people who make Agiles (Unsung I think, in which case same peeps who do Indie and Schecter). If so, good find.

I thought this too, but a quick look on ebay reveals all.
If the Luxor had a 2 point trem I'd be tempted.

Just read the part about made in Asia, set up in Italy.  My mistake about the "made" in Italy...... :oops:    Some video of their stuff.....

I smiled at 'Profession Nut Job'.

Why no Strat-type guitar? :(

There's a strat ('54) and an Anderson type (Luxor).

They seem OK, but the '54 looks more like a '62 to me ;)
