Any more info on the company? The guitars look nice, but I'd like some good reviews or demos.

I wonder how they can do this? Rickenbacker is notoriously protective of its designs.

I think they look different enough from Ricks to be OK, but it's definitely the first thing that comes to mind. I like the finishes on the acoustics.

I'm not much of a grammar nazi on forums, but I do think websites should be well written. I didn't read any text past the "about us" section, but, man, the grammar is atrocious in that little paragraph!

The rectangular cutout thingy for the bridges kinda messes with the rest of the guitars' looks :erm:

I like that Coquette bass. I won't buy it, but I'd like to steal one from a lesser musician one day.

like a Mosrite and a Rick had a baby that was missing a chromosome.

True, like a huge mole.
I give these just a "like". The Attache speaks to me though, want to hear those pickups.

Exactly. They should have called it the "Retard Strength."

Can't figure out if it's the bridge chromosome or the bottom cutaway chromosome...or both. Actually, I think it's a missing bottom cutaway chromosome and an EXTRA bridge chromosome.

They beat Rick to levaraging their old student/entry-level designs. Rick shoulda done this themselves and a tad cheaper to capture the market that wants a cheaper Rick.

They seem cool...the guitar shapes aren't really my style, but I would love to try the acoustics. If I was a bass player, I think i would dig those basses too. I would like to see more info on the company, but they seem pretty cool.

it seems like a fair price point for what seems to be American made guitar from a tiny new company...if this was some new company selling Korean guitars at these prices trying to pass them off as high quality/hand crafted, I would say Fuck em. I would also say Fuck em if they were in the 3-5k price range. I would even say Fuck em at this price if I played one and it felt like I was playing a squire, but I bet these things are about as nice as anything else in this price range, all things considered.
