My friend got one of their guitars; an "orion" i think it was or maybe an "apollo"?. Mahogany body and set mahogany neck. £118. It was wicked

^ yeah, i tried one of those ones, indy. I think the shop wanted £200 for it (but if i'd been buying i'd have tried to haggle). seemed not too bad for the money, around yamaha pacifica 112 quality.

If i'm going to be honest i wouldn't pay £219 + postage for that.

What's with the raised centre thing? Does the white bit step up in the middle, not flush with the rest of the body? Strange. Looks like an ok deal to me. I'd rather buy from Vintage or Yamaha at that price range though.

Could be good for modding / project work i reckon.

But i agree wit ninja, I'de probs go for vintage or yamaha... or save a little more and go fir the over £300 price range.

Yeah I'd agree with jibidy, I know someone who has picked one of these up for modding purposes.
