Re: marty friedman.......IBANEZ ????
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">By your reasoning, half the guys on this forum should be endorsed.
They haven't sold many cd's, but they could give very good clinics.
Most of the big guys were playing Kramers when I was growing up.
I'm trying to think of anyone I liked back then that played Jackson besides Randy.
Anyways, I don't like the current neck profile on the Jacksons.
But they are still quality axes at a fair price.
If you buy a junk guitar because someone famous is endorsing it, you need your head checked.
(See the new Paul Stanley model)
And if equipment wh0ring the only way George Lynch and others can make $, perhaps it's time they get real jobs.
Pays my bills anyways.
I even have insurance. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
Just my 2 cents.

The more I think about it the more I see your point. It doesn't have to be an exorbitant attempt to keep some high profile players around. They just do not seem to be trying to get any players. And, advertising is a part of marketing your product, as well as a cost of business. In the long run it is whether you have good marketing of your product regardless of quality of that product. Most of us got into Jacksons cause all our favorite players were playing them when we were young. Now that we are older we still dig them and can afford to buy them.
