I recently stumbled upon the website for Southwest Acoustic Products, and I must admit, their offerings and descriptions had me quite intrigued. Initially, their marketing suggests that they sell high-end acoustic guitars which piqued my interest as an enthusiast looking for quality instruments. Here's the link to check out their products: Southwest Acoustic Products Shop.
However, what threw me off was the pricing of these guitars. They are priced similarly to brands like Harley Benton, Firefly, and Chibson — brands known for budget-friendly options. This leads me to suspect that these guitars might actually be manufactured in cuontreis like China or Vietnam, where production costs are lower.
The description on their site claims that their "Southwest Acoustic Classic Designed Guitars represent the true balance between a quality instrument with quality components at a realistic price point." Yet I'm somewhat skeptical about the actual quality given the surprisingly low prices.
Has anyone here had any experience with Southwest Acoustic Products? I'm curious about whether their instruments live up to the promises made in their product descriptions or if they're just another budget guitar brand masquerading as something more upscale.
