Anyone know much about these?
I'd never heard of them until this week.

They do look very unique, finishing wise anyway!

Shame, really, because I'm all for up-and-coming guitar makers ;)

Post by: WezV on November 29, 2008, 11:04:55 PM: notice also that USA custom guitars (a company like warmoth) do most of the work... not really got a problem with that especially since they are so honest about it... but it does explain why they are only strat and tele shapes... and since they dont do finishes (neither do I), it leaves me wondering what they do do

then i went to the construction page and saw

I like them but no way I'd pay that money for one, especially when (as mentioned by Wez) you could get a Trussart instead.

Post by: Matt77 on November 30, 2008, 11:01:05 AM: I saw Joe Bonamassa play one 2 weeks ago. He used it for slide and I think the metal finish suited the slide playing.
It had been bugging me for a while as to what it was.
I'm unsure of them but it's good to see something a little different

My girlfriend says this relentlessly. At least it's Kaleigh she fancies though.
