.... though I still don't understand why "production" nneds to equal 
"ugly";
this is of course a matter of personal taste but I really don't like the 
ADG
shape.  Why he can't make something like the Warr but slab-sided (the way
PRS are doing with the Santana) I don't know.

Are ADGs actually made by MArk Warr or his son?   I heard that was where 
the
name came from, but don't know if that translates to who actually makes the
things.
