This is another new kit we have received.
I saw this, from another supplier, and thought "wow! that looks so cool, I wouldn't mind one of these"
Loosely inspired by a PRS body, with a flame maple veneer and cream binding.
Mahogany body and neck plus Gold or Chrome hardware.
Also note the Tony Iommi inspired inlays on the fretboard. Might be a bit much for some, but.... "build it and they will come".
Cheers,

Smaller F-holes and no Iommi inlays and I'd consider making one.
it begs for a trans grey stain and ebonising of the fret board for that whole gothy theme

I'm with Simon on this one. Call me vanilla but I think if you ditched the f holes altogether it would be a big improvement. I'm a huge fan of the body & head stock shape, not so much the inlays.
Oh, that's a great shape! I don't mind the F-holes but the inlays are a little cheesy, eh!
"If it's Blues music in a bar and it helps people swallow their drink of choice, or it's a dance song and people get up off their chairs and shuffle their feet, or it's a Jazz tune and the Chardonnay tastes so much better... then it's all good."

For me, the F-holes are just all out of proportion to the size of the body. They are the same size and shape as the ones as on the ES-2V which I also think are too big. Also, they lack the more shapely curving of the F-holes on the ES-1 kits.
Obviously, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I do think these would be more sell-able with redesigned F-holes and a plainer neck inlay option.
