Maybe the FeLiX is an attempt to cultivate a future guitar market? Also, we're experienced OLDER guitar players. What sounds like crap to us won't sound like that to new guitar players. We were'nt aware of what was crap and what wasn't when we first started playing. The newbies will continue to play (or not) and will devlop an ear with time.

Face it folks, the day of fine woods is almost gone. Woodworkers, carvers, and other fine instrument makers will tell you that.
