I almost contemplated a purchase last night after watching that Andertons video - 3.00am madness - but the one I most liked the look of had already been sold.  Probably for the best.  I don't even know what the neck profile's like, or anything.

really really comfortable and easy to play...

    I think I'll have to pay a visit to Andertons, if my enthusiasm doesn't turn out to be a flash-in-the-pan.  Too pricey for a blind buy.

Having tried a couple of these at the Birmingham GuitarGuitar, I don't think you will be at all disappointed. If you are comfortable spending north of 3k on a guitar, then I can't think of another that I have enjoyed playing as much (OK, maybe the Gray Guitars strat-a-like, or the Eggle Macon or '96). The closest, profile-wise, neck from a 'bulk' manufacturer I have tried would be an Ernie Ball. Perhaps a little bigger, overall. But a similar profile and finish.

I've played Tim Mill's Baccus's and found them amazing guitars.  If you've played a Feline Lion, then the neck is similar in feel to that, and really comfy.  The overall build quality is amazing and the sound is fantastic with a ton of natural sustain.

I'm not necessarily comfortable spending £3k+, but I'd consider it....
I have played Ernie Ball/Music Man necks and I think they feel great, love the finish... but they're too small for my liking.  My credit card may be safe.

Actually, if you like the overall neck on an Ernie Ball but find them a little small, then Im not sure your credit card will be safe after all! From memory, the Baccus felt bigger, but overall similar shape.

I’m fortunate enough to own 3 of Seth’s guitars. One he built for me 14 yrs ago when he was still manager at Mansons. More recently a Nautilus and last year a Shoreline S style. They are genuinely the finest guitars I have ever owned (along with one Strat I can never part with!). 

The build quality is second to none. The neck, fretwork and nut cut are top notch. To top it off Seth is one of the nicest and most humble people you could ever meet. Good on him branching out and selling via big companies to the masses.
