The Tip is 'Watch What You Eat' While in the grocery store recently I noticed that the apples were from South America. Next to South American apples were a bin of apples labeled Made in USA. I decided to go with the Made in America apples since they were US grown. Always remember the Big Secret- buying more American made products helps put Americans back to work. It will guide you to food you will want to eat that is grown with US labor. If you just take a moment to look and think before you buy, it is likely you will find what you are looking for. Also, be careful because sometimes labels are not what they seem. Some companies use the letters USA to fool you into thinking they are American products. Trust only those products that literally claim their country of origin. Look for labeling like: Product of USA, Made in USA, Grown in USA, or other definitive markings. And last, when you begin the journey of purposely identifying American products keep in mind that it may take a little time but the more you look the easier it becomes. You will start to remember which brands are made in the USA and which aren't. This knowledge makes it easy and will accumulate over time. Some food items are not grown in the USA and you will learn that too. The Big Secret tells us we don't need to purchase everything from USA manufacturers just a little more than we are accustom to. If you can average $200 a month more on domestic purchases than you otherwise would it adds up fast. $2,400 a year is equivalent to 7 MILLION new American jobs. We believe that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Lloyd Prins Guitars With so many guitar companies to choose from, we thought the following information would be helpful as you consider a Lloyd Prins for your next purchase: Ask anyone outside the U.S. and they'll tell you the best guitars in the world are made in U.S.A. We think that's important and that's why all of the guitars offered by the Lloyd Prins Guitar Company are made right here in the U.S. Our bodies and necks come from trees grown in the northwest, our pickups come from U.S. manufacturers, our strings are made in the U.S. and our pots, switches and controls, all U.S. (we like keeping our manufacturing dollars here at home). Alot of custom builders claim to build their own stuff, but in reality they purchase bodies and necks from generic suppliers. At the Lloyd Prins Guitar Company we purchase our own wood, write our own programs, and machine our own bodies and necks IN HOUSE on our HAAS Verticle Mill. This lets us price more comptetively and gives us the freedom to build that custom you've scribbled out on a napkin. We do a lot of things really right, but our custom graphics . . . . . . ROCK! And we're not locked in to our own designs. If you've got an idea for a killer graphic, sketch it out and fax it to us. In most cases, we can do it for $300 or less. We love graphics! We don't make pickups, bridges or tuners. We leave that to the people who do, and do them best. GHS strings, Lindy Fralin pickups, EMG pickups, Original Floyds, and Sperzel locking tuners are a few of the premium parts that go into the building of your Lloyd Prins Guitar. We've evaluated a lot of strings and string companies, and in each case, GHS comes out on top. GHS Boomers are our preferred strings and used exclusively on every guitar that we ship. |
