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.

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. |
