Location: Kingston Ontario | I was at a musicians meeting yesterday and the topic of Academy instruments came up. Some of the guys including myself remember the name from way back.
A local discount store is selling the Academy brand. Prices range from $58 CDN for a nice looking acoustic to $99 for a trumpet, flute and trombone. They also have a Strat copy with a 15 watt amp for $149.
The name may have changed hands over the years.
The photos above look really nice. |

I've heard so much positive remarks about the Academy, but I still have yet to play one. I will get my chance someday.
Welcome again. :) |

It does not look like the one from Cliff, it has a solid headstock. |

If played correctly there is no need for a Pickgaurd. The rosette can hold back some abuse though. |
