I thought you think of these as girlie guitars, eh?

I'm not too fond of the red of this one - unless it's bad photography.

I wouldn't mind having one, but it'd have to be MID.

OK, this one is nearly done on eBay and surprisingly their have been no takers. Surprisingly, well yes because it has cleverly been hewn from one single piece of wood. Clearly that's why it £5000. :roll:

Maybe they should have a new sub-section in the for sale section.

Let's call it "Optimistic". :lol:

They make it up as they go along. I recently tried to buy a guitar and amp from them, but cancelled due to their total lack of interest. Getting the money back was the only positive from the experience. :(

The only dealing I have with them is returns. I wonder what a judge would say if someone would sue them for not being able to deliver a Midnight White Ric. They are in fact actively misleading consumers here by offering goods they don't have - or is the UK the only European country where that is allowed? :?
