Looks kind of cheap, but then I think white and gold guitars often do in photos.

It's pretty enough, what throws me off is that it wants to be Gretschy with that finish, inlay and headstock, but retains a sort of 335ish shape. It's an odd mix, you'd typically see someone go for a gretschier look on the body but a more Gibsony neck (i.e. generic Gibsonish headstock with trapezoid or block inlays). On the one hand the inlay makes me think "AWESOME" but that could be the only thing the guitar has going for it over the other dime a dozen Gibson copies out there.

And I refuse to judge it seriously when it's looking at me with that freaking pickguard.

I personally really like the Eastwood Gretschies, which are nice and mid-priced... alas, no White Falcon option.

WHOA they do. Nice. The website is the only place I see Eastwoods too, don't know why I wasn't looking more carefully.
