Anyone seen/heard of/owned/played them? Mainly resonators, it seems, but interesting standard acoustics too.

    I hope the company doesn't get it's wings clipped and get burned. I'd hate to see it go up in flames!

    Puns aside,it's not a name I've heard of.

    495 for a brand nobody has heard of seems optimistic?

    I have an Icarus tricone. It’s pretty good. Very much in the mould of the older Busker resonators I have owned in the past (no longer available) and to me similar in quality to the Michael Messer range(which I also owned before) - though I know Michael and his expert ear may dispute that as I’m aware he does not believe it’s possible to make an authentic 30s style tricone on a budget, and doesn’t offer one so not a direct comparison, -I’s have to bow to his far superior knowledge on that, though for my needs it’s a good guitar, well set up and sounds good. I’m considering one of their single cones as well. 

    They were also very good to deal with via eBay, with good comms and fast service. 

    There are lots of options in the ‘traditional’ acoustic space though (less than in the reso world) so I’m not sure if this would be the best bet for a straight up acoustic
