His site, mr-potato.com, isn't working anymore. I wonder what's
happened to his business. (small korean shop, rave reviews on Harmony
central).
Funny. I never heard of the company until yesterday (in the "buying a
guitar in Korea thread). But now I covet one, simply because of the
name.

I desperately want to be able to say, "I have a Fender guitar, an
Epiphone, an Ibanez and a Mr. Potato".

It looks like they must have taken down or are having a problem with
the home page. This URL works:

I've got to be honest, I've never even heard of a Mr Potato guitar before
now! After having a deck at their website though, I can see that the prices
of these guitars are more in keeping with what I would like to spend on a
guitar if I were just starting out playing. Are they any good though? I
mean, how do they fare against other manufacturers, like say, Ibanez for
instance? I'm in the UK and believe me, I'd be hard pushed to find a sub
£100 guitar that I could actually play, and the best I could come up with
when I tried some more obscure makes were those made by Westfield. The
Westfield LPs were particularly in abundance for just under a ton. However,
the Mr Potato range might do well in the UK if they were put about a bit
more, but like I said, I still don't know how good they are as a playing
machine, but they certainly look the part...'for that kinda money that is.
I'd sure like to have the chance to try one or two if these.

nylon strings, headless and MIDI interface........plus it weighs a ton with
batteries.
