I've never played one, but our Canadian distro carries them and says they are tops for the price.

Those inlays are huge! They don’t bother me though.

Those inlays are… Rivolting?

Lovely looking guitars in every other way though! I wonder how they feel.

:lol: I like those inlays :oops: Yes, they are a bit brash, but I'm a sucker for big block inlays over 'ho-humm' dots any day. The stripey look of the neck is kinda neat, imo.

Best part, I always end up with string gouges in the neck wood around the 1st fret over the years, so I look at the inlay as some protection against that.

Green one FTW btw 8)

EDIT: For the record, I do have an inlay 'boundary line', and it's this:

If I were you I'd check the 2nd hand market first. This brand does not look like it holds its resale value well. So they may be a steal on the 2nd hand market.
