No it's not my style, though it might be for a good bunch of us.

Rarely attracted to things associated with pointy headstock fare, but GFS adding some classic elements to teh floydz don't seem to be not all that bad for the cheaps.

$189.00

$239.00 for binding, transparent finishes on figuring + reverse heady.

The colors are disappointedly not burning my eyes, where is the neon?

There is an arctic white model, should have called it cocaine white cause that seems appropriate.

Right 'nuff, for a company who has a habit of doing things slightly differently and not always making guitars that look completely generic, you'd nearly have expected them to have fluorescent tiger options somewhere.

Definitely needs a neon yellow/pank combo. Would get that. Kinda like this, but more neon:

These guitars are missing all of the following:

Tiger stripes.
White tiger stripes.
Japanese language characters.

They dont look too bad, the headstock is'nt the worst by a long way.
Its a tough market with Superstrats though, brands like Aria, ESP and Cort offer some excellent budget stuff and lets not forget the Squier Stagemasters and Showmasters.

that first greenish one looks hot to trot.

They should take the reverse headstock neck and make a firebird style guitar. I'd buy that.

The $239 has a genuine Floyd Rose Tremolo, not a licensed one. That alone is a good reason to buy.

Except that I really like that green color in the OP, and I think translucent finishes are gross.

I'd love one of these with a Gibson Les Paul styled headstock, just for the WTF factor.

I'm with you on the finish of the more expensive one. I would probably get one of these if they had the solid color body with the Floyd Rose and reverse headstock neck. I it doesn't have to be set neck but I prefer other neck style and the plain, non-flame topped body.
