The Tip is 'Teach Grandchildren' One day, while I was on the Made In America Secrets site my granddaughter noticed and asked me what I was doing. I told her about the Big Secret and as I explained, she began to ask me more questions. After several minutes she left my office to play with her little sister. Months had gone by and until recently, I had forgotten about that moment. She was visiting again and I was talking to her about buying a custom printed T-Shirt. She immediately told me about a website that I could use to buy one. Wow I thought, she is only eight years old and already teaching me. The most amazing thing then happened, she said "Pops they sell Made In America T-Shirts". Thanks to her I purchased six custom Made In USA T-Shirts. Her name is Britton, she understands the Big Secret and I love it when she tells me her Little Secrets! Now she is ten and writing a screenplay called Mertastic. It is a story about a mermaid. Recently, she was visiting our house again and using my computer. She called me to come into my office and of course I came to her because that is what grandparents love to do. One of the reasons I love to be with her is because it is always interesting to see what she is up to. This time, she needed a mermaid tail for her movie, so we began to look around using Google. Her mother is a talented seamstress and will make the tail so we were looking for fabric that would be satisfy my granddaughter's vision of her mermaid tail. Once again we began to talk about Made in America and therefore started to investigate the country of origin of the fabrics she was considering. Because of that experience Made in USA fabric is now one of Made in America Secrets products. Thank you, Britton. 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. |
