Vintage Viator 12

Hi, anyone have any experience of these? Stumbled across them and they look like they might create some interesting sounds in different tunings etc. Bit concerned about build quality and playability in general, as there's a few negative comments on amazon. Music Radar gives a great review, but always good to hear from people who've actually tried one.

I use the viator 6 and its a wonderful instrument. I can't get the usb pickup to work in usb mode but who cares! It's very nicely put together and whilst the V neck can be surprising, your hand gets used to it.

Thanks - that's good to know! I love the sound of the 12, just wary of build issues.
