Lado guitars?

Does anyone know much about Lado guitars? They make a model called Earth that looks alot like the Westone Raider. Adrian (Iron Maiden) had one that caught my eye.

Lado Made in Canada

The company is still going, you can find them at http://www.lado-guitars.com/catalogue.htm .

They make some really exotic Tele style guitars, as well as the pointy old school 80's rock axe's they're famous for. I secretly want a pointy 80's rock refugee to do up myself (with a Kahler and a rising sun paint job!).

Back to the future!!!

See, now, everyone has a go at me for opening expressing my desire to one day own a flouro pink Corsair 1440 and there you go letting wee secrets like that slip out!! You're gonna get caned, man... Uncle Matt made some primo pointies, too!!

Yeah, bring it on, I've got no shame. You got to have some guilty pleasures (an idea for a thread perhaps!)

I was checking out the Westone Guitars site the other night and reading through the old models, the Monark and the Dimension IV spring to mind straightaway.

Hm, I haven't seen a monark on ebay since I've "discovered" westone (perhaps I was just too blind?)...somehow it would be nice to have one.

Yeah; I think David at Spares has one, and X189player on the Electra forums has one...

..about halfway down the first page. They are very uncommon - probably because they're as ugly as sin!! - and I've not seen one on the 'bay in the 4 years or so I've been looking at Matts. The Dim 4's and Dynastys turn up quite regularly...

mayb they're ugly...however they look funny^^...

looks like he's even got 2, a red and a white one

Yep; he's a hell of a nice bloke too - I 'acquired' my Phoenix X195 through him; I'm sure he'd tell you more about what the Monark is like if you PM'ed through the site... He likes his for the ergonomics - go figure?!
