In this video we review a guitar model so incredible and at such a price point that, if it continues, it’ll DESTROY the American guitar industry. This is the Tostar TST-500 Deluxe. It’s a Super Strat style HSS with a REAL flame maple top veneer and other appointments so high end you’d think this was an American Custom Shop at first glance. The Tostar rep I spoke to told me they are basically a continuation of the now-defunct brand FESLEY GUITARS. Fesley was making some great guitars right before they went defunct, so let’s see if Tostar lives up to the hype…
