pop a 3-way toggle instead of that ugly blade switch and make that headstock logo look like IT WAS'NT MADE WITH COREL DRAW '95, and I'd hit it.

I like. The headstock is a bit of a detraction, but, overall, it's a neat design.

It would look better if the forearm area had an angle instead of just being rounded off. I agree with laterallateral about the headstock logo. It's really generic and lazy for a guitar that's clearly trying to be different. I think a raised metal logo would suit this guitar really well.

Other than those two things I like this guitar a lot. I'm especially fond of the headstock shape. Add that one to the good looking 3x3 headstocks thread for sure.

lel edited. That's what happens when I shortscale from my phone. I can't see usernames and the post on the screen at the same time. Still, I dont know why I thought that was from him.

On the subject of being lazy, the Strat bridge falls in there as well. Come on guys, be a little creative.
