In hindsight, nothing about this build is up my alley:
I have never owned a guitar with an HS configuration.
I do not love that unfinished body bevel.
I don't love wood grain showing through on a finish.
I have never loved these ergo-guitars.
I own so many 25.5" scale guitars and my home...
The pictures in the listing didn't even show the headstock. I had this huge lump in my throat when I realized it might be headless (I'm not a fan) and went researching the builder and model. Thankfully it's not headless. The watercolor is definitely ummm...unique? Obviously this guitar isn't for...
So if you're serious, which I don't think you are, but idk...if you're serious - I don't love wood tops, grain, brown, etc. That neck is too much for me, but the body of the guitar in the OP isn't lol. Idk man.

SBC Guitars Cyngus.
Guy is based in the UK and one of these showed up on Reverb yesterday. I have been on a buying spree and couldn't resist sending a bleary-eyed lowball counter offer to the auto-offer I received this morning.

I gotta take some updated pics. I've also been on a buying spree lately, wtf is wrong with me. Gonna list em for now and I'll try and snap some pics:

- Gretsch 5420
- Squier Classic Vibe Strat
- Schecter 006
- Stirling Albert Lee
- EBMM Kaizen
- Knaggs Kenai
- Ibanez...
I’ve bought two guitars upward of 3k and I’ve disliked/didn’t get along with both.
I currently have a soft cap of 2400, which I think still allows me to buy cool stuff (Kaizen, Knaggs, Prestige), but keeps me away from making worse financial decisions (3k relic’ed Novo).
