I like the solo 050, except for the neck. It, "goes great with a kilt", whatever that means?

They probably have a whole lot of craftsmanship and love put into them, but....they are ugly.



Rather boring shaped, too.

i dunno, i kinda like the shape of the body, i think it would look pretty good with a sane finish/wood choice, and a nice pickguard. but the headstock is horrible.

Wow, those boutique guitar shops are really getting outlandish! Though, I do love me some Alembic guitars and basses... but those are classy exotic woods and designs, not these random odd designs!
