I have been eyeballing some of the Philipines built guitars with similar curiosity for some months, at the prices they are sold at it's hard to imagine that they could even look as good as they do.

I had an Ayers DSCM, one of the first brought into the uk, the review on Harmony central is mine. It wasn't a bad guitar at all, but one of the braces broke and fell out about 2 years into ownership, I can't blame the build though, because that was the guitar I first started using to learn percussive techniques.
I whomped the daylights out of that poor thing, and it sounded great!

Tried a Baden, the strange (cool) looking offset cutaway model, and that was nice, but too much money, I could get an Irish handmade Jumbo (cough) for the same money that would make it feel and sound inferior.
Ayers though, for the price in the UK is some of the best value around.
