Lotus is a company that mass produces copys of guitars for beginers! they are great to learn on but when you have mastered your 3 chords throw the mutha in the river! they weigh a ton they dont stay in tune the electronics feed back and shriek like a 2 year old that has $hit his pants!! I believe the lotus is made by samick which is a company that makes 1/3 of the guitars in the world. So dont buy one, try not to play one. Hell buy a epiphone cheap, there worth a damn, and hold there value

Okay. Im only ten years old, so i might not help that much, but ill try. I looked them up in a guitar magazine, im looking for one myself. They are made in India, and they can be worth, depending on what model, between $235 and $399 american. I tried looking for http://www.lotusguitars.com and they dont exist. Have you tried their owner’s website, http://www.midcomusic.com? That might help.
