I like the alan-key pickguard screws. Very techy. It suits the look.

Cross-head screws are sooooo 20th Century!!

Looks great, although the headstock is a bit rubbish .. but there are very few modern headstocks I like.

Nice to see an offset design in the boutique world, although I suspect from the ritzy website (and no listed price) that these guitars are well out of my price range. They sure seem to be going for the "lifestyle accessory" angle.

I stumbled across the website a couple weeks ago - thought about posting a thread but then forgot...

They had their prices posted at that time, if I remember correctly they were somewhere in the $7,000+ range?  I could totally be making that up but I think that's right.

i bet they are the kind of guitars that sound so good they don´t even sound good anymore. if you know what i mean... no quirks, no personality.
