Anyone out there know anything about these UK made instruments? After some bored link clicking, I came across some pictures of them. They look amazing but their website appears to be down so I can’t get any more information (which is already quite thin on the ground).
They sort of remind me of a cross between an EGC and a Scott Walker electric – really rather nice. Not sure I’m quite ready for a non-wood electric yet, but would love to hear some first hand opinions on these from those that may have been lucky enough to own or play one.

I like that the ECGs are kind of minimal.
^ Yea, that's fair enough, they are certainly more so than an EGC.
I do however think that a polished metal body lends itself quite well to being a bit flash, and some of the finishes look quite unique (if 'quite unique' isn't a contradiction in terms...). Different strokes, and all that...
Anyone with first hand experience?
Is that the one with the flowery inlay at the 12th fret? I think I may have seen it online. Nice description of the colour too: I think it looks ace! Yes, some pics would be great if you have them.
Perhaps an obvious point, but thanks for noting about the feel. It makes a lot of sense.
Did you find that the metal necks made them more or less susceptible to changes in temperature?
Wow, the one with the bird and flower inlays looks amazing. But yeah, SUPER flash.
Do they have aluminium necks? Looked like wood to me.
WRT aluminium necks though, I've not experienced any significant issues. I'd say mine with locking tuners hold tune better than my other guitars, with the exception of those with locking trems. Caveat is that I do warm up the neck a bit before going up. But in the house, never noticed any issues.
