the look of them for me is ok, have seen a lot worse. The issue I have is the price point they are talking about. I think Ola's are half the price aren't they? For their target market it seems they are limiting sales potential....mind you all his fans are probably rich IT capitalists anyway....they love that "math" guitar thing :rofl:
Ola's are just a basic super strat which can be churned out by the ton by existing factories, Tosin's require way more human intervention, they're more of a custom build that just happens to use CNC to maintain precise dimensionality of parts :)
ok

Well I’m gonna go against the grain... I dig those guitars. Kinda bit like Plini’s ones but on a grander scale :-)

They're really interesting looking guitars. I've never seen on a guitar is a two piece neck, joined down the middle like that. Is that something new? I wonder what the reason for doing that is?

They're growing on me too!

I like how Tosin has incorporated ideas from the guitars Rick Toone and Ola Strandberg made for him. I would like to ask him whether he ever wanted to include a neck profile like either Rick's Advantage/IPNP or Ola's EndurNeck.

I actually got the chance to ask Tosin why he didn't play Toone's "Sketch" guitar more often, and he said (IIRC) that it actually had tuning stability issues under the stage lights. But the fact that it's only a seven-string probably had as much to do with it. Who knows.
