Re: Unified Guitar Works Torrent
Interesting shape. Doesn't appear to be very well made. I'd pay Samick prices for that.

Looks like someone's high school wood shop class project. That said, it's better than I could do.

Not saying I hate it or anything, but I've seen cheaper AV65 jags and jm's. It's no comparison at all.

Re: Unified Guitar Works Torrent
Yeah I don't get it.
I think they were going for the Airline angular look but it only really works with plastic in my opinion,in wood it just looks lazy at best.
I'd say more but I'd be worried about the builder coming on here and calling us all idiots as what seems to happen when a guitar is received negatively.

Re: Unified Guitar Works Torrent
I kinda dig it, or at least the idea. St. Vincent sig meets Airline meets JM. The upper bout looks a bit off, though, and I've always hated pine on instruments - reminds me of cheap furniture.
EDIT: I think the upper bout would need to follow the line from the lower bout, then it'd be all cool.

Should look OK once they finish building it.

Re: Unified Guitar Works Torrent
Why does it not show the full guitar complete with headstock? Is the builder just slapping a fender style neck with a fender style headstock on there? If that's the case it's a terrible match to the guitar and seems like quite the upcharge for a "complete build" if it's essentially a parts guitar.

Re: Unified Guitar Works Torrent
There's a real disconnect between the shape and the rustic look of the wood.

I prefer my guitars to have seen higher than 60-grit sandpaper. I have this weird thing where I don't want splinters when I run my finger along the edge of the body of my guitar.
