Well I'm just a humble, crappy guitar player who needs a little more time to get my leads down. So a shitty American Strat and shitty El Cajon Taylor are good enough for my purposes. Don't really have a dog in this fight since I'm just not good enough.Mosster47 said:
All Fender guitars are shit. They were designed to be shit and still are to this day. Just because they were first doesn't mean they are good. $1,800 for an Am Standard that was designed to be takes apart and thrown away as it becomes used? Right. The Custom Shop is just there to rob Baby Boomers. Tokai, Momose, ESP/Navigator, Fugigen, etc. are the great Japanese ones. A late 70's/early 80's Tokai LS smokes anything Gibson has put out since 1960.YellowSnow said:
Almost all my Fly Rods were made in WA and all my guitars are from CA. Don't really view Jap Fenders being better than American ones - do you? I guess Shimano makes great reels right?Mosster47 said:
Their guitars and fishing equipment are the best on the planet though. Keep being yourselves Japan.Pitchfork51 said:Jesus those Japs are bizarre.
For reels there is JDM Shimano, Daiwa, and Megabass. There is a tiny amount of Abu still made in Sweden and everything else is Korean and Chinese made shit.
Any rod that is worth picking up today is either a Toray carbon or 3M resin. The bulk of them are Toray, which is a Japanese company. You have Gary's blank company NFC and Lami which are low end outside of the Infinity line. Everything else is Chinese made shit.
No one cares about fly fishing. It's been the least productive method out there for over half a century.
All my fly rods (mostly Sage and Orvis) were all US made and when I bought them 1993- 01 non of the high end manufacturers were building rods in Japan or China. I don't know if that's changed.
For bass, salmon, steelhead and salt water, gear chucking will always be the most productive. But I grew up in the Rockies and there fly is king and will always be. No gear chucker can ever out catch an expert fly rod guy on a classic trout stream. Lakes are a different animal of course.

Think my shitty little bored will have to adopt the hot fishing takes.GrundleStiltzkin said:

My early 80s Rolex Quilcine Oyster Datejust is feeling really chinsulted.Swaye said:Grand Seiko watches rival anything the Swiss make. Post WW2 Japs are cool. Pre-WW2 Japs are little yellow bastards.

We'll take the the guitars and watch dick measuring too. Guns are inherently political so gotta stay Tug. The Shoppe is a Gun Free Safe Zone.GrundleStiltzkin said:

White countries with very little concern for diversity for the sake of the diversity have the highest quality of life? That’s so racist I’m literally shaking right now.

Not bashing Rolex at all. I have one. And a Zenith El Primero. And a Breitling Chronomat 41. And an Omega Speedy. I love watches, and I especially love stealing them. But, there is no doubt that mechanically there are very few watches that are any better than a GS, and in many cases a GS will match or beat a Swiss watch that costs 5-10 times more. The Japs know their shit. If I can ever manage to steal a GS, bet your ass I will.YellowSnow said:

I should also mention, for those that don't know, a Grand Seiko is made by Seiko, but is an entirely different animal. Like 5-8 grand each worth of different animal.

I'm loving the hot watch talk. I'm an Omega whore myself, but I'm close to pulling the trigger on a blue dial milgauss to enter the Rolex club.

I want to get a Shinola next. Detroit made, probably shit, but they're trying. -
I got the Milgauss Z Blue right after it came out. My favorite Rolex ever. Though, the Daytona is a close second. I even like a Daytona in TT. And I usually hate TT. Get the Milgauss. You won't regret it. I can nerd talk watches for hours. Going to rob the old Jiffy Lube I used to work at soon to try to put the scratch together for my first JLC.Doogles said:I'm loving the hot watch talk.
