I don't know why I like this but I do.

I don't like the trem, but the red special vibe is not lost at all.

i like everything but the giant bell knobs....needs something smaller.....either that or change all the switches to black and keep the bell knobs

that looks like it would be uncomfortable to play. I don't mind playing teles [no coutours] but with that large of a body i dont think it'd be fun. Looks good though, definitely a different take on the red special thing.

That's great. I like the smaller top plate and all the slanty switches.

The smaller control plate is really cool. Are the switches for on/off and phase functions for the pickups?

I like how the wood grain "goes around" the trem. Also agree with rob, needs different knobs

Agreed.

How much would these set someone back?

I don't like it at all.

I really dig that.

Especially the pickup switches.

The only things I donâ€™t like about it are the white switches and the fact that itâ€™s red, but other than that itâ€™s a cool idea

I think it looks great.

Now that I really look at it, the style reminds me of several Euro guitars from the 60's. Like if a Burns had a baby with a Hagstrom.

Love the slanted switches. I feel like they would be really functional, like you would knock them around a lot less due to the angle.

Nice guitar... are those pickups tri-sonics? They look just like the pickups on my Burns...
