Seriously. They just are. I totally can understand if the looks don't float all guitar players boats, but how can you argue with the feel and playability of these guitars. I played all the models today. The only one I didn't care for was the (2) P90 Bluesmaster. I usually like P90's a lot, but these just seemed to thick and dark for my liking, not enough bite and snarl. Otherwise, the woods used (2 peice select Swamp Ash bodies, AAA Indian rosewood boards, The maple necks were just awesome feeling, maple boards also felt amazing. All come standard with bone nuts. These felt incredibly high end for the money ($600-$700). They felt substantial like my Les Paul, but not too heavy. The rosewood fretboards were probably the best I've ever played and seen. The Wilkinson brass saddle bridge on the traditional tele style guitar was wonderful, the bridges on all other models "looked" just OK, but I'm sure they work just fine.
Put the Fender headstock and traditional look aside, and try these out. I can't even believe how nice these guitars are......
