Pennsylvania company Balaguer Guitars has announced the Standard Series, an affordable, China-produced line of electric guitars.
Balaguer says that the series will utilize “some of the best production facilities in the world," with guitars built to its specs, then undergoing a 46-point quality control checklist at Balaguer’s headquarters before being sent out.
Prices for the series begin at $699. The guitars will feature locking tuners and Graph Tech nuts fitted as standard, while a host of other premium specs will also be available.
The Standard Series will be available beginning this March.
