On the plus side the headstock design is not a James Tyleresque monstrosity but the above is not likely to set the heart racing. Honestly wish them well but think they might want to rethink both their offerings and pricing.
They give me the same feel as https://kononykheen.com who are a Russian brand of guitars. I even got an endorsement offered from these but decided not to as I'm very much a Gibson type guy and none of these guitars were doing it for me at the time.
They at least say the parts are made in Asian areas and assembled in Russia

I think what they are going for is selling a Tom Anderson for half (ish) of the full retail.
I also think that they have a lot of the problems that all of you have said above. Shame as they seemed genuine and the guitar I played was actually good.
Like a lot of other people here I might be tempted to take a punt at £1k, but £2.5k is not realistic when I can get a used TA for that.

Currently for sale:
24.75 scale Kotzen style telecaster
Grover Jackson superstrat
12 string acoustic
OTO Bim delay pedal
I wish them the best of luck though.
That'd put me off. I've heard of too many firms going bankrupt before you get your guitar.
I have a second hand Carvin coming in the next couple of days. I've wanted one since the mid-'90s.
This is a typical example. No affiliation btw, he's about 40 miles from me but never met him. Builds for Quo guitarist too.

Likewise the term RELIC is also trade marked here in the UK but some guys still persist with using it lol

If you could build a modern Ibanez style bolt on guitar that'd be a bit more unique and I'd be interested.
As it is it's doomed to failure.
