Heard of Mensinger Guitars? Great price?? Polish?

[mooncobra]

Saw a guy playing one at the Friedman booth at NAMM:

I went to their website and it is in Polish, and from what I can make out it says custom made guitars and the prices looked to be from around 2900 pln to 5500 pln. So I looked up the conversion and 3000 pln is around 740 dollars. So what is the deal, anyone know? Custom made guitars for 750 bucks to around 1300??

here is their website:

http://www.mensingerguitars.com/

maybe I hit something wrong and the conversion of the currency was not correct. It seems too cheap, unless the guitars are junk?? Anyone know about these, whats up?

this place sells their guitars, looks like they mark them up a few hundred bucks. this is the page for a model of Mensinger called the "Passenger" model. reminds me of the Charvel GG model.

anyone know about building procedures? how are these guys doing? shortcuts being taken? I don't know myself? They definitely have many different models, and do basses also.

I have a buddy from Poland (SinMix). I can ask him if they suck...

cool, thanks, I am just curious if they are nice custom shop guitars, especially for those prices. That's even quite a bit less than Kiesel.

Guys in the US will need to knock up the price 30% too, import duties. So a $1000 guitar and $100 shipping ends up costing $1450 before you get it home.

still a good price if its a nice guitar. my kiesel was a little less than 1400, and it is a straight up great guitar. It can easily hang with a lot of the big boys for half the price!
