Englanniksi löytyi aika helposti tietoa, tosin kitaran mallista et maininnut mitään.
Tässä vähän lainausta:
"This company is the one firm that Martin actually sued for copyright/trademark infringement. (Despite the endless references to "Lawsuit Takamines," Martin never actually sued Takamine, as the "cease and desist" letter Martin's attorneys sent Takamine accomplished what Martin wanted, without need for any further legal action.)
But when these so-called "Pro Martin Custom" guitars started being imported to the US, Martin did take them to court and won, immediately closing down their North American operations.
They do turn up on eBay from time to time, but they're really fairly crummy guitars, Johnny. The only reason to get one is for the notoriety, and even that is so little-known that most guitarists are completely unaware of their history.
If you're looking for a utility instrument, there are better guitars available. These "Pro Martin Customs" are not even particularly good instruments by the lenient standards of 1970's-era Japanese imports." |
