I was very surprised. It seemed like a really well made guitar and played like a dream. It was GC, so I can't give an accurate opinion on the sound.

I would probably be very tempted to get one - the Schaller-type Licensed Floyd was a bit of a put off though. But If I found out that their Floyd was made with hardened steel and had a brass bridge block I would buy one.
Why would a Schaller Floyd be a put off? If it has a Schaller that is great. Schaller makes the OFR and IMO their own licensed unit is an improvement on the original and will last through MANY years of abuse and damn near forever if properly maintained.

I thought all this Lacuna stuff was made in China ??? Good looking does not mean good quality. Kramer is the perfect example. Some of their new Indonesian and Chinese guitars look good, with nice tops and finishes but play like ass with subpar fretwork and necks.

I played one at GC and it was very nice. If I hadn't just bought two guitars this month I would have picked it up.
