No, I know nothing of it, but from the blurry pics I can see enough about it to make me avoid it..... having had a lot of experience with "Home Made`s" My advice to any newbie is go for something with standard string spacings, adjustable quick release legs and knee levers positioned where your knees want to be, something with positive stops and also stays in tune. if it looks nice as well.... that`s a bonus..... I am not saying this steel does not have some of those features but twood be nice to see it underneath and a bit clearer.....
