Frankinstein Guitar Works?

Post by mre1208 » Wed Jan 20, 2010 5:25 pm

anybody have any experience with these guitars. I've got an opportunity to trade my thinline (+ a small amount of cash) for this LP Junior type....call me crazy, but I think this guitar is absolutely gorgeous, and it's a local deal which is even better. Of course, I like to do my research on brands I don't particular know, so I figured I'd ask here.

Looks like a great guitar. I know nothing about them either but here is the website. You probably already looked at this but thought I would put it up for everyone.

I ended up trading the Thinline for an Early 2000s Dearmond M77-T and Early 90s Bluesbreaker (the old giant tank version)...pretty happy thusfar....got a big settlement check from an insurance claim AND a great tax return, so I may just buy this one outright if I can't get it off my mind.
