Happy Jack Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Checking out who Kenneth Lawrence is led to me to this very strange site: https://salefuet.best/product_tag/37018278_.html I have absolutely no idea what is going on there. Quote
Woodinblack Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Looks fine to me, would rather be seen with that then a fender. But I wouldn't pay that money for it! Quote

binky_bass Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Ken Lawrence builds absolutely fantastic instruments. I've played a few and they are of the absolute highest quality. Personally I love the look, totally get that some won't! I played the below some years ago... an incredible beast. 1 1 Quote

tauzero Posted Sunday at 17:28 Posted Sunday at 17:28 He also builds high quality bass-shaped teapots. I rather like some of the ones on that scam site. I don't like them £3k+ much though. Quote

He has a facebook feed. Nothing that screams scam to me. Ken Lawrence basses were much more prevalent back in the late 90s/early 00s. The other instruments are exactly what I'd expect from a Japanese guitar store. I just got back from 10 days in Japan for work and most guitar shops have a section for expensive/over priced US instruments. Saw plenty of eye wateringly expensive Alembics. There's a market for it.

Hellzero Posted Monday at 15:00 Posted Monday at 15:00 This is not a scam shop as you'll get what you paid for: an expensive postcard or an A4 poster if you are lucky. There are many websites like this one. Quote
Woodinblack Posted Monday at 15:06 Posted Monday at 15:06 True, I often get an advert for a shop clearing out Gibson Les Pauls for £200.. but I never fell for it, I mean, what happens if I gave them £200 and I ended up with a Gibson Les Paul!! 1 Quote
Hellzero Posted Monday at 15:08 Posted Monday at 15:08 About Kenneth Lawrence: First he's a great bass player too. Second he's a talented luthier up to the level of Ken Smith, Carl Thompson or Vinny Fodera and the likes, if you decide to stay in the USA. He also made a lot of guitars for James Hetfield, who is certainly a reference for great talent, but that's another story. https://www.facebook.com/KennethLawrenceInstruments/ Quote
