Sorry. Not for me.
On the website it lists models made in the US and Japan but the contact address is in Hong Kong - is there a history behind the firm or are they new and contracting out the construction?
Second, the site suggests the guitars are "made in USA (or Japan) with quality", but the company is based on Hong Kong, which just seems a smidge weird
Third, they look utterly bland but ok for generic pointy things I guess. And the website makes the range look HUGE but actually it's just every colour listed as a different model which is a bit strange.
Fourth, does anyone want a Tele with all the classic timeline curves replaced with pointy stuff? I honestly don't know. But I would like to know if anyone's done any significant market testing prior to launch
Hiya - so the head office is in Hong Kong - but that's mostly for practical/infrastructure reasons. One of the founders is from HK has another (non guitar) business that operates from there. The CEO and designer is actually from Korea and usually based there. Production is in Japan and America. The US production is smaller scale and closer to custom shop. Japan production is a factory - but still handmade. Conpany is only 3 years old and production is still only small batches, usually to satisfy orders. Going to hold a little bit of stock in the UK soon
Oops! Thanks! Corrected the typo.
Yep- explained the HK thing above - that's just where the office and logistics infrastructure is.
Not a fan of the designs then! Oh well
The Vasti (model) you posted the image of - is one of my favourites...and I've never been a Tele player before. It's super contoured/comfortable and has a much nicer low end for me. There's also a pretty cool boost function in the push/pull on the bridge pickup.
The range is pretty big...but not huge. In the UK we're planning to focus on the Oz, Vasti, Blaze X and Ares
The Blaze X range actually look really good....
That certainly is pretty
I can see what you mean
Blaze X is very cool. They're head turners because of the finish - but they're pretty unique sounding and playing too. Lots of versatility with coil split and coil tap on both pickups - really nice and articulate cleans. Also much beefier necks than typical on a guitar that might come across as 'shreddy' at first glance. Feels really nice to me!
Ignore the cretins stuck in the past your designs are great I would definately rock one! You're unfortunately on the wrong forum if you want an opinon which isn't steeped in vitriolic holier than thou bumfluffery
