Brian Moore i8-13 Reviews  5 / 5 based on 1 reviewsFound at the now defunct Mars Music.
I had a Roland GR-33 & stick-on pickup & wanted a Synth Guitar because of the superior tracking with the Hex/bridge PUs.
It was $1200 w/o a case.
The looks of the guitar were spellbinding- the maple top is highly figured flame maple/quilted. The design is impressive- it's very comfortable to play standing or sitting.
The midi tracking is quite good. The neck is like a PRS wide but fast.
The 13 pin midi connector was bad & it had to go to the mfg for repair. However, Mars gave me a loaner till it came back a month later. I still love the guitar.
Except for the one defect, the quality is perfect.
This guitar was just what I needed. I considered the 'stripped down model' -
no Spertzel tuners or Duncan PU's but decided to splurge & go with the best.
If all you need is a good midi guitar, & use another one for pure guitar output, then the cheaper model should work well too. The Fender midi didn't impress me at all. Pay the extra money or use a stick on midi PU. If mounted properly they work well.
I don't get any complaints when I use this guitar- looks or sound wise. RockingChristian rated this unit  on 2002-12-16.
