    Not saying that makes them anyway bad necessarily, but value for money does seem suspectible compared to other eastern built instruments...
    We have a couple in at the store at the moment, and what a surprise. I played the Metropolitan C for a little while and it was very enjoyable in terms of playability and tone. Can’t vouch for consistency across range or even model type, but for $350 inc. hard shell case, this one is amazing.

      Kinda surprised nobody has mentioned Electrical Guitar Company.
      Home - The Original Innovation Transparent, Defined, Indestructible Electrical Guitar Company was born out of a complete obsession of the aluminum neck and aluminum guitar world. This "world" ...


      Dunable makes some pretty cool designs too.

              I've come across Murray Kuun Guitars, which has some really wild art deco-style designs.

                I really like some of these innovative styles. But many of them forget the very basic design principle of "form follows function". With a lot of them, the form has no relation to function (and some even reduce the function!)...they have just tried to make visual impact. Which, I guess is ok if that's your thing.
