In our latest Dear Guitar Industry show, Brian talks about a part of the industry that he isn't a big fan of: People who fake their products, then make them later on. We're not talking about starting small, or even outsourcing so much as exposing some of the dishonest behavior that happens as people create companies before products. Is is that big of a deal?
