Eh, if people really put much stock in what/when builders shit out then idiots wouldn't fall for this kind of stuff nearly as frequently.![]()

I love how Ever FOrthright says "We had offers from companies like Mayones, Halo, Novax, etc. We decided to go with Invictus Guitars UK". WOW. So in other words, you guys are rather dumb, or you are seriously expecting us to believe that a company like Mayones actually OFFERED you something!![]()
...since they had a few notable artists endorsing the guitars and they had offered us the best deal pay for the hardware and the rest is free ...
I find it ironic that that people burned by Invictus turned around and said "Hey, go support quality brands like Strictly 7 and Halo!"![]()
In all honesty though, most people could see this coming from a mile and a half away in a blizzard.
Sadly, that just speaks to how tight the blinders are on in these situations, the "holy shit- famous people have XYZ, and if I have XYZ, I'm famous!" blinders.
There are some wise points being made here.
I will say this much. Even though it looks like I am a gear whore (and I kinda am haha) I don't accept a lot of guitars that I am offered. I am still very picky about the companies that I associate with, and with time I have only gotten pickier.
I usually only work with companies whose guitars I have tried and loved, and who have built several guitars of that caliber, not just one. Anyone can deliver a fluke, but consistently putting out a good product is a different story.
Be careful, and if it is any comfort, know that the brands that I work with can at least deliver a consistently amazing product, and you don't have to worry about quality from build to build.

More like you approached them about an endorsement and they decided to give you a slight artist deal.![]()
Out of curiosity, you worded that as if companies have offered you guitars upfront and you declined to take them? As in, for free? What companies would do that? And what was wrong with them that you didn't like?
How does this comfort people who lost money with Invictus?![]()
I work with Ever Forthright and I confirm this is not the truth, Mayones did in fact offer them a deal, but Invictus offered a better (cheaper) one.![]()
Yeah, that's exactly it, but in those cases I have either not tried their guitars or tried and not liked their guitars. Invictus was one of those brands, they were trying to send their guitars to almost everyone, when I initially refused they tried to send me one anyways and told me I could return it if I didn't like it.
Just to be clear, this isn't to say that every brand I have refused is bad, sometimes it just means that I haven't actually tried their products and don't want to risk backing a company that might not be good.
So, would this then confirm all the muttering of Ever Forthright's guitarist "winning" the Mayones/Seymour Duncan Solo Contest being simply an endorsement deal, that the contest was actually just a publicity stunt that the winner was pre-selected? Seems kind of strange to me that when the general consensus is that the contest was already rigged (so to speak) that the winner was already "approached and offered" a deal by the company holding the contest. It was fairly obvious that he wasn't the best entry into that contest, considering partially his guitar wasn't even in tune half the time...Yet, he "won", when he was already in talks with Mayones about an endorsement deal?
Interesting.
VERY interesting.
why does this guy suck so much?
