Would this be a good deal?

So I've been trying to sell or trade off my Tiny Terror for a while and some guy emailed me today about possibly trading for this guitar that he has:

I have never heard of these, but if he's willing to trade straight across (which I still haven't found out yet) would that be a good deal? Do you guys know anything about these guitars?
Also, I don't know what color it is. If its bright red or something, I think I'd only accept it to flip it for something else.

A locking nut on a stop tail? Why? And a neck joint access truss rod? Why?
That thing is stupid.

Im sorry but I have to agree.

the locking nut is because the stop tail piece has fine tuners on it. Basically all the tuning stability of a floyd rose set up without the hassles of dealing with the actual tremolo. As for the truss rod, that's a more traditional but not necessarily better way of doing it.
That should be a very nice guitar. Value wise it looks like you would be coming out ahead. looks like they have been going for 7-800 on ebay.

Ok, I see your point on the nut, I didn't know about the tuning bridge, but the truss rod? I don't know too many people that don't have a set of hex keys (musicians and non-musicians) but I know exactly no one with the tiny wrench used on the neck joint truss rods. That's also just the best scenario when they actually have the access gap for said tiny wrench, what about when you have to take the neck off? Sorry man but you will never convince me that it's not just bad idea.
If you are going to flip it then it's irrelevant anyway (that is if you care about that sort of thing or my opinion on it).

I'd do it.
I kinda wish more guitars had locking nuts, I seem to be prone to popping strings out of normal ones.

We'll have to see if the guy actually gets back to me. In my experience, craigslist folks are pretty flaky. I think I'd try to flip it. . .

Yeah I feel ya. If they were so expensive and didnt need the neck to be shaped for the locking nut I'd be throwing those on all my hardtails. The locking system just works so well. I've played the shit out of guitars for a month or more and not needed to tune them beyond tiny fine tuner adjustments.

Well, that guy never got back to me, of course. So I don't have to think about it. Somehow I missed the "neck joint access truss rod." Fuck that.
