[Guitar Heel]

E for effort, but all of the gimmicks aren't adding up for me.

 

[Chad]

Swap the bridge and vibrato with a Mastery and I will love it forever.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Not really my thing but pretty spiffy. I'd give it a spin.

 

[jelloman]

Damn, I want to love it, but there are a few things that need to be changed before I can...

24.75" scale...
Hard tail...
Lose the lower F hole...

Build me that and I will name it George...

That guitar is to a Kauer Daylighter as when Kia makes a car that kinda looks like a BMW.

 

[dodgechargerfan]

I like it, but if we're to spend that kind of money on something like that, I'd be talking to Dougk.

Also, the pickguard at the upper horn needs to have a concave curve to more closely match the horn.

 

[wok]

Nope

 

[sleewell]

I like it overall but don't dig the dots on the fretboard.

 

[Modern Saint]

I am somewhere in between...

 

[grover]

Nice Tree

 

[Lerxst]

Swap the bridge and vibrato with a Mastery and I will love it forever.

 

[Chad]

Holy crap, I think I just wet myself.

 

[Lerxst]

Holy crap, I think I just wet myself.

I knew the power of mastery + tort would be too much for you to resist.

This was my first thought.

Actually, it looks to me like a direct Kauer knock-off.

 

[BlockInlay]

Looks nice

 

[gtrjunior]

I know I'm in the minority in this forum on this but I HATE that tailpiece style. I don't care how good it is, how great the intonation is...they are just plain fugly and I hate them. There, I said it.
The headstock is ugly too.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

It's OK, but I'm not sure if I'd make it my first choice.

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

I like it, but I like the 2nd one better!

 

[Denverdave]

I'll take the tort version with a hard tail.

As for the OP....I agree that it looks a lot like someone trying to build a Kauer. I do like it though. That black finish is sexy...
