In this video we'll take a look at a ~$200 Aklot Soltone amzn.to/4cH8RkA which is a Telecaster style guitar with a set of specs that reads like a high end, American Custom Shop set of specs...but it's from a budget guitar company that sells guitar for $250 and under! In fact, I was able to find some listings on Amazon for this guitar at $177, which is beyond insane. Let's talk about why guitars like this will eventually COLLAPSE the market for mid-market guitars in the $1000 range, and why companies like this do not and should not care.
