I'd like to get my hands on one to give it a try.

The Tonare Grand is aparently tonally geared towards flatpicking. I'd like to see how it stacks up. They're obviously too flashy looking for most traditional bluegrass or old time-ey flatpickers, so I'm not really sure what market these guitars are intended for?

I would imagine: electric players who play with picks, value the name "paul reed smith", and now want to play an acoustic guitar too.

Are there clips up there?

Not my taste, but some good looking guitars. I can see the appeal....

The original link has a video where the guitar is played.
From the video it seems to have a sort of "loose" feel/ tone much like my own main acoustic, which I really like.
