Yeah, TGP is weird. Do some relicing on those puppies and they'll go ape-shit. Please don't do that. I know you won't, and I do like artificial ageing on guitars, but they look perfect as they are. The funny thing is, that shape isn't exactly new. It's an old design and has been adopted and tweaked by other manufacturers as well, so you'd think they'd express some form of interest, right? I know a few builders don't get the recognition over there that they deserve. It's usually just a small handful of the same people praising their favourite guitar company and that's it. I ignorantly used to think TGP was full of people who all knew what was what and had somehow tried everything, from rare 50's Japanese electrics to $8000 custom guitars from a guy who only builds eight a year. But I realised that it was the same people saying the same things in different threads. I thought it was multiple people, but I began to recognize and pay attention to usernames (I think it's because they have no avatars over there, unless you pay for it, and I have always recognized particular people by their avatars) and I started to see what was going on. After that point on, I would always assume that because there were ten highly-positive or highly-negative comments on one particular piece of gear, it would actually only be two people. They're tricksters, I tells ya!
