found this to go with it

Interesting, nice spec, unsurprisingly pretty high £££. Looks a little like the B&G parlour electric series... those seem to have quite a cult following, wonder if these will be interlopers in that world.

I saw GCJ playing his this week. He only used that and his Gibson signature V.

Unfortunately the gig was at Manchester Albert Hall so the sound of the guitar was lost in the dreadful acoustics.

My thoughts as well - I played 2 used B&G's last week - one was good - one was mediocre - Both Made In China - Something cool about these that I like

They cool - Are you going on Tuesday to see the Stray Cats

SteveRobinson

Yes I'll be there on Tuesday.

I"m not 100% on the finish choice, but they look like a nice take on the B&G theme. How much?

SteveRobinson

Nearly US$4K by the look of it? <Horrified emoji>

The Reckoner model looks good, a nice take on the non-reverse Firebird/Fender offset hybrid. Pricey but in line with Novo and all the others, I guess.

World Guitars has them listed now at £3995.

Crikey! I'm oot!

So its a hollow uncut LP with old pickups. 
Looks nice. Looks safe. Looks awkward to play.

Bet James Bay buys one

I saw these on my daily look-but-don't-touch visit to the World Guitars website.  They don't appeal to me at all (neither do B&G), but I'm sure they're very good.

Maybach have a model much the same.

@earwighoney What's the name of the Maybach model? Having a hard time finding it on their site.

Edit: Found it - it's called the "Little Wing"





The Wide Skys look to have a much slimmer body.
