I understand wanting adjustability, but to characterize the fixed geometry as "flawed" is akin to saying every pre-1985 Martin is flawed. If it doesn't work for you, move on. There are lots of guitars out there, and carbon fiber may not have the kind of adjustability some people want.

Agree.
It's like saying (to use Rick's analogy) that a car with a non-adjustable seat is "flawed".
It's not "flawed" if the seat is set right were you would put it anyway...or you don't mind either not being able to reach the pedals easily or driving with your knees in your chest.

On the other hand...."adjustability" tends to be a good thing, if for no other reason than it increases your potential customer market.

Seems to me that some folks here would like to consider a CA guitar..but want them to be a better "fit" for them.
