Seems kind of "different for the sake of being different" with no real point for me.
But I don't need to re-invent the wheel to get where I go, even if it's radically off the beaten path.
I do so just fine with traditional tools!

I am not into guitars that someone took a bite out of both ends on.... Ok, if you like that style might be a pretty darn good guitar. I would have to shut my eyes to play it...sorry couldn't help myself. I have a friend that likes that style
If I was going to go for one it would be this one. They have a nice blue one too. Look at them in larger detail they are not putting me off as much. Looks like great quality.

They are well made and sound great. Are they worth the cost? Only you can answer that.
They don't have the cache' of Gibson, Fender and PRS, but they're trying hard to offer good quality for the price. What they're trying to achieve is improved ergonomics; beyond that, they're no different from any other electric guitar.

I liked the look because they weren't copying worn designs. I tried one and a few things I didn't like were zero fret, unplugged sound/feel, restring worse than floyd rose in my opinion. The thing that really killed it was the neck is also ergonomically designed to have a center ridge that curves up the neck to where your thumb should be. I like big necks and put my thumb behind it, and this was not for me. Also, for the price of something made in Indonesia and how it felt in my hands...really not for me.

A very small sliver of the guitar playing world loves them.
The neck profile is a perfect example. I can see the appeal, but just give me a good, smooth back and a bit of chonk and I'm happy.
They're well made, but I'd dare say not AS well made as they would have you believe. You can still end up with funky necks like anything else, while they'd probably like you to think the thing will always be able to have 1/64" string height with no buzz, made for the most technical players.
When designs go the uber-modern route, they end up having very dry sounds. Some players love it because it is an excellent "blank slate", but I prefer guitars with more personality. IMO, the BEST guitar designs have enough personality to be recognizable, but have a sound that is also versatile and will never be accused of being a one-trick-pony. This is what makes the big ones so good... Strats, Teles, Les Pauls, etc. Okay, you're probably not going to show up to a metal gig with a '52 Tele, but generally that is a sound that is extremely versatile.
