I found them both pretty good, particularly liked the RC model, had a nice through neck. All nice and tidy inside and definitely worth what was originally asked.
Not so sure about the new ones sorry, they seem to have caught the "if i sell it they will buy" bug and monies seem a little silly.
And for a full house........
I reckon it needs a Bigsby.
A mate of mine from uni owned one of the original run of ML-1s, and it was very heavy, sounded pretty flat and uninspiring both unplugged and plugged in, and played similarly (I'm talking about when I played it btw, not slagging him off ). Not a very nice neck profile, and I always thought the ML-1 shape looked a bit clunky and weird too.
Another friend of mine has recently bought an ML-3 Rabea signature (the trans black, standard-scale one as opposed to the baritone) and I thought similar - it wasn't shockingly heavy but still weighed too much, the neck profile was fairly rubbish and it sounded pretty dull as well (again, my first hand experience of playing it). Shame, because I thought it was a very nice looking guitar, at least.
It could be that I've never played one which was set up the way I'd choose to have my guitars, but they always seem to be uninspiring to play and never, ever have I played one which I thought was light and resonant enough. They don't ring.
However, I could NEVER be happy with a guitar that has "Monkey Lord Approved" stamped on the back of the headstock.
Shame really!

Since then, I've had four guitars from Jaden (five, if you count the bass I periodically nick from my dad...) and none from CG.
Not a fair comparison back then...however, a 18 of CG's 48 production models are more expensive than the last guitar I bought from Jaden (one of the Floyd-equipped Salvos, about three months ago), so now...yeah. Draw your own conclusions.
