Can anyone tell me about a brand of guitar called G. Burton?

G. Burton is an OEM name...they are just regular old Strat copies with someone elses name on them. I believe they are made by Hebei Manson Musical Instrument Co. Ltd. in China.

They are just about as cheap as you can get, there are no Fender parts on the guitar, and the body is made of plywood.

This is another good reason why you should never buy a copy of something else... especially a copy of the most copied guitar on the planet!

Sorry, but it is only worth what their reserve is...something like $50.

I bought a starter guitar off of ebay from a company called Wholesaletoolstore which is an exact Fender Stratocaster copy, the 2 are practically identical. The only marking on the guitar is on the headstock and it reads G. Burton. Does anyone know anything about these guitars? Where they are...

A G-string (alternatively gee-string or gee string) is a type of thong, a narrow piece of cloth, leather, or plastic that covers or holds the genitals, passes between the buttocks, and is attached to a band around the hips, worn as swimwear or underwear by both men and women. The two terms G-string and thong are often used interchangeably; however, they can refer to distinct pieces of clothing: The primary difference between the two garments is that a g-string has less material between the legs and buttocks, hence a string-like appearance. Variants of the G-string include the V-string, a thong with a triangle "V" of cloth at the top of the rear, and the T-string, where a single string passes around the waist and between the legs, forming a T between the buttocks. See also the general article on thongs. G-string or thong is probably the earliest form of clothing known to mankind; having originated in the warmer climates of sub-Saharan Africa where clothing was first worn nearly 75,000 years ago. Many tribal peoples, such as some of the Khoisan people of southern Africa, wore thongs for many centuries. Much like the 2000-plus-year-old Japanese fundoshi, these early garments were made with the male genitalia in mind. Although developed for the male anatomy by primitive peoples, in the modern West thongs are more often worn by females. They first gained mainstream popularity as swimwear in South America, particularly in Brazil in the 1970s. In Brazil, where the buttocks ("bunda" in Brazilian Portuguese slang) are especially admired and emphasized; it was originally a style of thong swimsuit whose rear area became so narrow that it would disappear between the wearer's buttocks. Female strippers and erotic dancers in the west have been wearing G-strings and thongs during their routines since the mid-1920s. The origin of the term "G-string" is obscure. The term is first attested in writings by Americans in the late 1800s describing the loincloth of Philippines natives. In the "Philippines Islands" entry in the 1911 edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, the term "geestring" is used. Others say the term is derived from the G-string on a musical instrument, but it may just be an abbreviation of "groin-string".[1] The origin of the word "thong" is from the Old English thwong, a flexible leather cord. There are a number of intermediate styles between full rear coverage and a string rear. Like the tanga, the G-string is essentially a bottom covering that covers the pubis and leaves the buttocks bared; The term G-string is generally used when the vertical strap in the rear of a thong is no wider than a string[2]. Other similar styles include the brazilian, rio, and T-back (T-string). The naming of the intermediate cuts is debatable, and different vendors use the words somewhat interchangeably.
