Vuvuzela plastic musical horn

Michael Kelly Rose Acoustic/Electric Guitar
At first I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing a guitar that appeared to be a “knock off” of a Martin D-45. Given the reputation that copy cat guitars generally bare, I was certain that the craftsmanship would be inferior. That coupled with being manufactured in Asia …
