I'm curious to see if they will become competition for Parkers. They both have interesting designs and materials. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Parker raise their prices recently too. So that would make the Flaxwood's really competitively priced for people looking into non-conventional guitars. But hey that's just me and I still wanna try out one of those crazy Michael Spalt Hybrids.
hmmm what would happen if they put a Piezo in one of these?
They've already made custom shop models with piezos, sustainers, all sorts of fun stuff. It can be done.
And yeah a Parker Fly Deluxe/Mojo is $3299 now, pretty steep. They have the bolt-on USA Dragonflys now which are more reasonable priced and quite nice, but just don't interest me as an original Parker Fly fan. The Flaxwoods feel a lot more solid and IMO sound way better (I hope the Washburn people don't read this...I'm still a fan guys, honest!)
