Don't like the blade switch, and that it's too Jag/Jazzy shaped. I think the hardware would look better on something more Tiesco or Hagstrom shaped. It doesn't fill the Jag/Jazzy shoes well enough.

Either way: approved. But not quite beautiful.

Blade switches are always a fail on anything other than a Strat, never liked the the look of them. Are they mini-hums in that? If so that's a nice twist to a design that seems to be getting countless knock-offs just lately.

seeing portugalwillie's sx tele deluxe in the flesh made me find the headstock not as vomit inducing as i'd hoped. it's actually not that bad, and if i got one, i'd probably just leave it be.

Speaking of ulgy, have you seen this from Rondo?

At least SX is using the better looking headstock again.

Also the Agile one is OK looking but like the GFS ones better.

Lipstick on a pig man.


The other version was polarizing but the bottom curve at least flowed. They squared the above one off and it just looks hideous.

yeah that's a bummer. a brand comes up with something unique and perty, and then fucks it all up.

If you spread your legs far enough apart and use a footrest for your left side, the notch might actually make sense. Just add a pipe and argyle cardigan. Now the ugly is complete.
