Hello and thanks all for your interest in PT Berger Guitars! I know this is an old thread but I just discovered it. To answer some of the comments above:
1. We're very small, no "subsidiary" to anyone, pretty much just me and a couple shop dogs. Indeed a very Dedicated Guitar Company (member of NAMM since 2010).
2. We work with suppliers and factories 'round the globe to create our designs: Korea, China, Vietnam, USA, Europe. Final assembly and customs works at our small shop near St. Paul MN USA.
3. Very low overhead, very tight quality controls and lots of unpaid time bring in our guitars at this low "wholesale" price point.
4. We're actually aiming a few notches above the CV Squier market. Our Small Batch Boutique Production gets you a lot more guitar for a few bucks more.
5. Any other questions you can also check us out at our new website, just google pt berger guitars .
Thanks again for the input and all the positive comments! Keep on rockin' -
PT Berger
