The Aella is a 75% “seamless/screwless” board that adopts a beautiful and unique side profile with clean, smooth curves and a compact design with a staggered F-row. In my opinion this is the optimal 75% layout aesthetically, while not compromising on function. I decided to go with a ‘screwless’ design to focus all attention on the sweeping curves of the side profile, as that is the real star of the show here.

What does condition A/A Minus mean?

All the conditions will not affect the functional use, they are determined based on the appearance. 

For the kit

All the conditions for the kits were determined based on the overall quality of the stock. A stock will have no visible exterior blemishes. This doesn't mean the kit is 100% perfect, tiny marks may exist with power zoom-in or under a certain angle of view or lighting. 

We have tried our best to thoroughly QC all the kits based on our experience, but what the human eyes can see is limited. 

A minus stock can have minor blemishes seen when built.

Internal marks are not considered within the QC process.
