Woah -  very pretty!!!

I'm not usually one for flamed maple tops - I appreciate them, but they don't make me go "boing"... But it seems that if you make it look like it's carved from chocolate, I start paying attention for some reason :lol:

That looks absolutely stunning, I hope you have much fun with it.

Good call, it does have a "Smooth & Creamy Galaxy" look about it!  :)

beautiful guitar I really like. It is Stunning!

Lots of people have noted the beautiful top etc, but the part that I really like is the neck joint, I had to look on the their web site and see how and why they do it, it's not a type of neck joint I have seen before. Not sure of how it would effect the sound but the idea behind it sounds good and it looks great !!!

In some ways like a feline lion joint as in flowing unsteped heal but done the other way round . The more I think of it, can't see why other people don't do it. I'm sure their must be cost and contruction issues if you were going to try and mass produce it, but it is still an 'Oh yeah why don't other people do that' type of idea

love it

Yes they had a Legend Classic reviewed, not sure of the issue number, but the full review is on their website at www.vanquishguitars.co.uk

Regarding the neck joint, its a bit special, look at the fret number where the neck starts to thicken, its definately the most unobtrusive joint I have ever used, you just don't know its there.

That looks lovely, I have a very soft spot for the double cut style designs
