Very expensive, but also very cool looking axes. https://relish.swiss/guitars/mary-a/bloody.html
They have both aluminum and wood core designs.

I've looked at some music press reports and their website. I'm very impressed. I like their designs, their material choices, and methods of execution. Should be awesome guitars.

One of the things I wonder, is how they attach the wood to the aluminum. There are no screw holes visible, and I'm not sure of what adhesives would bond aluminum to wood.
Oops. If I had just scrolled down a bit, I would have seen the "exploded" diagram where they show how it's constructed. :banghead:
The back is actually held on with magnets, with isolators so the aluminum plate "floats" in the middle.

Re: Anyone familiar with Swiss made Relish guitar?
I remember seeing those when they first came out. Cool idea, and fairly nice looking but quite expensive. Cosmetically they look a little topheavy to me, like a pretty face with a really big forehead.
Not so sure about an electronic switching system - I think many of us switch by feel most of the time, without looking down for a specific small spot on the guitar. I know I do. But I guess it would become natural after awhile, especially if that was the only guitar you were playing.
And to get the inevitable silliness out of the way, I wonder if they come in ketchup red and mustard yellow...

Close. Bloody Mary but no yellow. Just a Fiery Mary.

Neat innovation. and cool how the back plate comes off. I know some boutique guitars have magnetic control cavity plates..
One thing that concerned me, is with the special connectors for the pickups. I know I once owned a Gibson that had the control module inside and you couldnt use just any pickup with them. In the vid they said you could get connectors to allow you to use any pickups you want..
I was thinking the pricing isnt too outrageous. (2500.00) till I clicked on the Jane model.. But that has the touch switching and all. Its out of my reach, but if the guitar really does play, sound and feel good, the pricing is in line with PRS and others..

^^^^ Cool. Evan is still around.
I'm actually looking to sell a bunch of stuff to spring for one of these. I love this thang.
+1 Me too.
