I purchased a non-cutaway spirit when moondog first started to manufacture.Before buying,i rang them and asked many questions to give me some idea who these people were,and if they were genuine.I spoke to Tim Nicolai on the phone.He was very helpful and knowledgeable,and sounded pretty genuine,so i ordered one for £300,more through curiosity really as i have owned many guitars of very good quality.I was absolutely gob-smacked by the quality and sound of the guitar for only £300.After 3 months the electrics went wrong.They were immediately replaced without fuss.I usually prefer a specific guitar for the type of music that i am performing,i,ve found that the spirit wll do more than most comfortably.If you,ve bought a good moondog guitar,you,ve got an absolute steal.
