they could have tried a little harder to make it less like a Telecaster.

I've tried a few of these guitars. They're interesting to play, but I don't think I'd buy one, extremely light too.

I'm more like a mids-ist than a bassist.

Yep... they are unique.

i feel like J Backlund guitars should get to the point where they expand and maybe become like the next sorta PRS. where they fill a niche that no one quite fits perfectly. them and Hanson guitars
