PGM is the manufacturer...they make Moon, Van Zandt as well as others...but shop staff don`t wanna tell me more...I had to find out about the Moons and VZs on my own...for some unknown reason shop staff in this city refues to divulge that kind of info. One thing for sure...PGM makes very high end guitars, nothing they make can be considered entry level stuff...I own a VZ strat. Another guitar your friend should watch for is the Seymour Duncan line that used to be made by ESP...they look to be the same guitars as the Navigators but with Seymours name on the headstock...this year things changed however, he altered his line-up and drastically reduced the number of models and I believe though I`m not certain...they are no longer made by ESP...he should look for the older, precise Fender replicas...outstanding guitars...I own one from each series. The Traditional series were his low ends but don`t be fooled by that...they are very well made guitars and used they are a steal.
Of course all these guitars will cost...a lot...even used, and they go fast when they show up at all. Crews is another fine builder over here...there are so many...get your friend to bring a digital camera so he can mail you pics of what he sees while here.
