I wish they'd trimmed the string ends.... and made the control layout more symmetrical, but otherwise its pretty cool!

I think he had a typo in the price when it was first listed (or maybe it was my eyes), for $550 it was a bargain!

Not sure about those knobs but overall it looks great.

It looks like it has been drawn by someone who does not understand perspective. It also looks edible.

I like the headstock on their Banshee more than the Firebird, but prefer the Firebird body. I quite like their Starliner as well.

By all accounts, they're made extremely well.

I love them. Every model.

But, three pickups is a biatch.

It’s not the sound - it’s the height of a middle humbucker that gets in the way of picking. Strats (Robbie), have a narrow pickup so you can slip in either side.

Not that hard to bring the middle pickup away with an angle grinder is it ?

Agreed, I had a Steph from Deftones signature guitar and he has this weird bridge and middle position humbucker setup, had to drop that middle humbucker so low it was redundant.
