Hey Fellas. Was wondering if you guys have heard of this guitar brand. Just stumbled on to them through Trucker Driver Shawn youtube channel. Super interested in their Grimoire shape. Wanted your guys take on them. Here is a video that show cases a few of their models.

Never heard of them, but my general policy is to not order anything other than an in-stock item from an unestablished luthier. And even then, do it on a credit card on PayPal. Waaaay too much risk, otherwise.

Checked their gallery on the website and the workmanship looks weak, basically what you'd get for $350-$500 from Indonesia.

yeah I had a look and their finishing looked real bad. Like every guitar I saw had dings or shitty rough spots on their finish, plus they’re just kinda ugly guitars imo

Another "brand" pasting their logo on bottom of the barrel imports. Pass.

You're right and I stand corrected, but I still stand by them looking like bottom of the barrel import quality. I guess it comes down to price but even with the perpetual 30% off, there's so many proven options out there, I doubt it'd be worth it but even with that...



Looks like he's spinning up a "production run" to generate cash for the rest of the business. Might work but this is the sort of thing that historically implodes a company. If you want to "be a part of history" by all means but they're just going to be overpriced Agiles. Everyone has to start somewhere but that's a really fast jump from "I bought my first CNC machine" to "global shipping anywhere from my production run"...
