I have a "Pearl" acoustic guitar. Does anyone have any idea about where and when it could be made?
 * Pearl is a percussion company, They dont make guitars
 * But they actually did during the 70's and early 80's! Not only did they make acoustic and electric guitars, but also a range of amps and effects. I happen to own one one such amplifier from the mid-70's called BAS-300. Another model was called "Duo Reverb" (a Fender Twin lookalike). Some of this stuff appeared under the "Vorg" label, e.g. the "Vorg Bass 101" amp or the "Vorg Echo Orbit-1" tape delay.
 * "Pearl" stringed instruments were managed by Jack Westheimer back then (google "Jack Westheimer" for sources) and initially built in the Matsumoku (electrics) and Terada (acoustics) factories until production was shifted to the Pearl Taiwan plant. Pearl also sold microphones made for them in the late 70s/early 80s. 2A01:598:990C:B9B6:701E:E849:FC5E:B908 (talk) 07:06, 11 August 2019 (UTC)


 * yes he is right, they made several guitars,eg a stratocaster, an sg and a les paul clone... should be mentioned in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.134.27.124 (talk) 19:10, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Can the cleanup message in the Pearl Drummers Forum be removed? --GavLewis 13:03, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Recent Vandalism
The page seems to have caught someones eye as one needing defacing. I notice looking at the history that previous attempts to revert the changes only spurred further vandalism. The back and forth only stopped when the last attempt by the vandal was so small that it slipped under the radar for a few weeks. The beginning of the first line of the History section was changed from: "Pearl was founded by Katsumi Yanagisawa," to: "Pearl was founded by Rahul Thakker," I fixed it, but my correction may start the cycle all over again. Admins may want to consider a more permanent solution, ban/block/protect etc.  --7h1s@76.103.178.225 (talk) 09:32, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Ad?
The Drum Kits section reads like it was copied off the pearl website, thus making it look like an ad 151.197.65.47 01:50, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I tried to fix it, hope it's better now --BlueHawke (talk) 22:28, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * This article needs to be deleted. It is an advertisement. No third party references nor is it notable-other than a well-known drum maker. Regards GetAgrippa (talk) 22:45, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Linking out
Question,

I have searched quite a bit on the guidelines, and still need this question answered...

I am a Pearl dealer... is it possible to put a link to my site? If not, is there a section inside Wikipedia where this is allowed? Or, is there a way to correctly word it so that a link IS allowed?

It is part of policy that Wikipedia is not to be used for business. Thank you for asking first, though. --piper108 01:56, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

This section is just a long list of endorsed drummers

This should be cleaned up i think to just include those with signature equipment:

Dennis Chambers - Santana

Jimmy Degrasso - Independent, Alice Cooper, F5

Virgil Donati - CAB, Planet X

Omar Hakim - Independent

Joey Jordison - Slipknot

Mike Mangini - Annihilator, Steve Vai, Extreme

Ian Paice - Deep Purple

Morgan Rose - Sevendust

Eric Singer - KISS, Alice Cooper

Chad Smith - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Tico Torres - Bon Jovi

It doesn't need to include all of the different drummers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbarry12 (talk • contribs) 04:34, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Also, can we get any form of citation for "Zac Cooke" as a famous user of the Vision series? I've completely failed to find any mention of a drummer by that name online. 173.111.189.215 (talk) 16:52, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
