Hey Moses,

A quick search got me something about the brand: Made in Argentina - and pretty crappy, according some (Argentinean, written in Spanish) reviews.

Looks like they been around for a quite a while and their site (from 2002) only shows knock offs... :(

I'm surprised that they're being made so recently. These days you don't see many people openly illegally using the Fender headstock. It really amuses me to see the J pickup on the P in that position.

Hah! my first guitar was a Faim - I remember taking the bus to the factory just outside Buenos Aires (in Lujan) to pick it up. It was a cheap Strat knock-off. As pointed out, not great quality instruments, but have been around for over 50 years, and probably any musician from Argentina has at some point in their lives played a Faim.

They still make instruments to this day, see here: http://www.faim-instrumentos.com.ar/HTMS/bajos01.htm
