That's not a bad price at all

Very beautiful guitar, out of my price range.

Very beautifuly guitar, out of my price range.

Out of mine too, but it's still cheaper than many Gibsons.

The back is much nicer than the front. idn_smilie

this.

It is still a nice guitar.

 

[reverend1]

I like it. Those knobs seem awfully close together.

 

[Chad]

That's pretty cool. Reminds me a little of the MM Albert Lee.

 

[jp_nyc]

Yes! And much less expensive than expected. A booteek with nitro for $2500 is a steal.

 

[bsman]

I like it as a good representative of an offset guitar that isn't just a "me too" copy.

 

[Guitar Heel]

I like it.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Don't care for the control layout. Not bad, tho.

 

[Wyatt]

While I kind of like the look, I don't like some of the specs (quit trying to sell me on zero frets).

Yeah, I would request no zero fret before the build.

Phenol/ebonol fretboards and zero frets where standard fair on poorly made, cheap-ass knockoffs in the '80's. The kind of stuff that was way beneath Aria, Cort, etc.

There is a school of thought that says zero-fret guitars have better intonation on the unwound strings. I own a USA Steinberger, and to my ears it does indeed have better intonation on some of those odd chord shapes on the higher, unwound strings
