The Tip is 'Keep eyes open' After reading an article about items made in America I thought about how many times I make purchases without thinking. I'm usually focused on budget and needs. Prior to reading this article on made in the USA products, I rarely thought about the importance of buying made in USA products. This helps create jobs in our country. Now I keep my eyes open and I am surprised how easy it is to find American products. It only takes a few seconds to look. Now I make a point when I am shopping to search for made in America brands. By doing so, I'm able to identify more and more what products are made in America. Even with my eyes open to made in USA I can get discouraged. Sometimes store clerks don't know the country of origin which can be frustrating. If this happens use your eyes to find the origin information yourself. Look at the labels and when you find a Made in USA product tell the clerk so the next time they are asked they will know. Also, when the label is not easily seen I use the other made in America buying tips to help me find made in USA. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. When enough people are asking for made in the USA products, more stores will begin to carry products that are made here. This technique does work. I also pick and choose the stores I visit. I do this because I have found that some stores are made in America friendly while others are not. Keep your eyes open for the made in USA label and pretty soon you will be able to identify which products are made in the USA. 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. |
