Buyer Beware!

Chris Martin and Bob Casey press conference click on link to MMR article

 

Many Americans are feeling the economic crunch these days,

 

 but in your search for a better deal use caution.

 

The international trade laws have presented many problems for American companies. China does not recognize our trademarks nor play fair. We will leave the politics to the professionals, however think about this……while you think you have gotten a great deal on that new instrument, it may very well be a bad investment. You may pay much more than your fake is worth! Also American companies are feeling the pain of lost sales which can lead to layoffs or ? China has a first to file trademark system. C.F. Martin as well as other companies have been fighting this. The chinese are manufacturing direct knockoffs of Martin Guitars and they are being sold at overseas tradeshows to music store dealers. Buyer beware!
