this ^^ might help

Is anyone familiar with History guitars? I am being tempted by one and can't find a lot online other than they are made of a music chain there.

Thanks therealfrogman, I will continue to add catalogs soon. I've been moving last weeks and don't had time to update the site.

However, I added some Morris acoustic guitars catalogs. Link added to the post #1.
