What's the deal? Are they just another guitar company? Or is there something particularly good about them? Why do people like them so much?
 
They are built with great care in Japan, using extremely high quality material, everything is finished off by hand, they produce around 30 per month.
The necks feel amazing, so fast, the inlays are fitted perfectly into the ebony fretboard, the frets are great, no sharp edges, strings getting stuck under the ends ect.

If you take the cavity cover off the back you will see that they are routed out extremely neatly, most companys seem to do a crappy job inside, mainly because its not going to be seen, definatly not on caparisons.

They sound fantastic, the body is about 5mm thicker than the ESP horizons for example, so they sound HUGE. All the contours are in the right places, so they are a joy to hold.

Really its one of those guitars that you really need to hold and play to actually see why so many people like them.
