#####tl;dr Please add more measurements to the website and/or add some overview videos on the models to Youtube

I discovered the brand on pure accident. I saw a photo on r/offset of the Solaris, and went to the site to investigate. I've been obsessed with the Meteor Deluxe for the last 4 months, but I was too scared to buy one since there's not a lot of information on them. The only places that has the guitars in stock to get hands on are in central Florida or north Georgia. So please please PLEASE add more details in the spec sheet because this is definitely a "buy before you can try" situation. It also wouldn't hurt to have a guitar before the next big drop that gets loaned out to 2-3 spec focused channels like Phillip McKnight and Andre Fludd to do a deep dive and demo, that later gets returned, and sold as a B or C-Stock.

Sidenote: I think there's an error on the Meteor Deluxe page that says the neck is roasted maple, and it doesn't look roasted to me. I could be wrong and it's light roast unlike the Meteor Moderns which look hella caramelized.

I ended up getting a used one in less than ideal condition a couple days ago. but I had a lot of anxiety checking out and waiting for shipping that I might not like it when it finally arrived. Things like Neck depth at the 1st and 12th (neck thickness), nut width, pickup resistance, pickup magnets (Ceramic vs Alnico 2, 5, 8 etc), truss rod specs (dual action or not), etc would be really nice to know and would've eased my mind a bit. I like that there's a demo for the pickups on the page and Andrew Synowiec demo is awesome. I want to have much info as possible when trying to justify another $1500+ guitar that I don't need (I'm an addict). I feel like D'Angelico does a really good job a giving you borderline too much information, but it's all stuff that makes it easier to know if I'm going to like it or if I will end up returning it (which is expensive for everyone involved).

Thankfully I'm enjoying it. A string broke in transit, and it had some fret sprout that needed fixing. So I've only played it for 20 minutes or so before addressing the issues. I ordered some locking tuners for it. I'm looking forward to playing it once it is put back together. Gonna miss having 22 frets, but so far it's more comfortable than my Player Strat.
