@guitars Hi everyone. What do y’all think of this? Is ‘Grote’ a dirty word? I mean, it’s probably the worst name for a guitar company ever. Would you ever own one?

    The name on the headstock doesn’t mean anything. It’s all about the setup, the feel of the neck in your hand, and your preferred electronics/aesthetics.

    Just IMO, of course. There’s definitely a contingent of the community that think brand names matter for the same reason as people who think fashion brands matter: status symbols. From my perspective it’s all about playability, functionality, and sound, but I like to spend my time playing my guitars, not judging people for theirs.
