There realy is no comparing one of those to a bolt on guitar. I played a JS single piece he has with a trap neck on it & just so nice to have in your hands. even with a square neck it just felt right.
costs are funny with him. he hates charging loads of cash for his work, says it doesnt "feel right" because he finds it so easy to do this stuff it not even like its proper work to him.
but i kinda have to say good things about the lotus because I HAVE ONE ORDERD
for a custom built playable sculpture the price is a joke, its like stealing.
