Offset?

Would you call this guitar an offset? It has Lace pickups and they have a great sound.

Aren't the fretboards on these angled a bit too? I don't think the waste has the necessary 10 degree offset to be considered a textbook offset, but it certainly looks cool. 8)

Edit: Well maybe it is, I don't know, does it matter? it's sooo sweet!  :? :? :?

Why should we buy postage stamps? We can make our own.

I think the original models had the 8 degree twist in the neck. These are cheaper imports and I dont think they have the twist.
Lace pups are very good sounding though, even on cheap imports. I have a strat style Huntington Lace with Lace humbuckers and they are great.
I only paid about 100 for it too.
