Recently,I read a 'GUIDELINE' here about EDEN Strat bodies and necks that kind of disturbed me a little.First of all....purchasing just one example of a product,does not qualify the buyer as an expert on that product.I personally have made several EDEN purchases,and 'for the money',as far as I am concerned,they have a great product.Of course,I'm not an expert,just a 40 year veteran of guitar building,and a retired Authorized Gibson guitar tech.I think that one needs to compare Apples,and Oranges,and consider the cost difference,buy them by the dozen,and then........consider himself an 'expert'.Opinions are a good thing,as long as you don't figure that everyone else should have the same one! Guidlines,and Opinions,are two different things,wouldn't you say?
