FGN Iliad

xDottore

Can anyone tell me much/anything about the FGN Iliad? I saw someone (poss here, though search now reveals nothing) speak in glowing terms. Thomann stock them and their reviews seem pretty positive (Google translate provided this beauty: "The FGN J standard Iliad HH RW BK is an optical crash"), but who really knows?

Anything anyone can tell me gratefully received. Their strapline is great: "THE MODIFIED VERSIONS OF SOME HISTORICAL GUITAR BRANDS". Er, right.

I like the body, but pretty much every non Fender Tele/Strat ends up having an ugly looking headstock, and these guys are no different.

I know someone on the Ultimate Guitar forum got a LP-style one a while back and thought it was great. I haven't tried them, though.

They come from a very well renowned factory. Doubt they would be shite.

^ That's what I'd imagine.

I own an fgn strat. Wonderful guitar. I'm always on the lookout for another, but they never come up. I saw an fgn tele on ebay a month or two ago.

The factory tour video on the Fuji-Gen website shows them building guitars the way it should be done, with care and attention to detail. 

I've never seen an FGN guitar but they do look very well made.
