The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase the same color and style with the Made In USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty and were more comfortable. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Scratch Pad A great deal of care went into creating the flawless finish of your instrument. To protect that investment, Scratch Pad has selected the highest quality 'American Made' materials which are assembled exclusively In the USA. Scratch Pad is currently available in the four colors shown below. However, due to the limitations of many computer monitors, the colors shown will not demonstrate how plush and vibrant the colors truly are. I love the feel of the pad. I also cut a second pad in two pieces, I use one half as an arm rest on the front of the guitar and the other half as a color coordinated pick guard. John C /Chicago, IL We have not forgotten about the aesthetic value of dressing up your instrument. The surface of the Scratch Pad is a soft and attractive velveteen. The dimensions (size & shape) of Scratch Pad have been designed to accommodate the most vulnerable wear areas of ALL electric and acoustic guitars. At almost a foot in length, the unique design of Scratch Pad will even protect the distinctive shape of the 'Flying V' as well as Pauls, Strats, acoustics, etc. [See the diagram at the bottom of this page for Scratch Pad's dimensions.] The materials used in Scratch Pad manufacturing are color-fast so, like the American Flag, Scratch Pad colors will never run nor fade. |
