I think it would look cool if they took out the middle pick up. I like the green one.

Same here, the jag pup looks dwarfed being in between those massive jazzmaster-ones. Even if did fall a bit from the ugly tree I'd (yet again) hit it soooo hard.

That circuitry in the back control cavity looks to be some armature ass shit. Bread board? Straggly wires? Higgledy piggeldy? Not for two grand. Although I did dig that black one with the two wide ranges and a lipstick.

I still want one. I emailed them Friday with some questions, but haven't heard back yet.

WAY overpriced and ugly as hell. Too much crap, not enough awesome. And who wants built-in effects? I want a flippin' tone machine!

Dude. Seriously.

I'll cut your eyes out for $1,000. How's that?

I will concede that the black one was the nicest of the lot but seriously, what's up with the tremolo plate? Does it have to be so huge and gaudy? If I were silly enough to buy one, the first thing I'd do is check to see if a Jazzy tremolo would fit. Afterward, I'd probably go find myself an accountant and have him manage my money from then on because I'm obviously incapable of doing it myself.

The tremolo plate and shape is "inspired by" this guy:

There are somethings I would change looks wise, and it has way more features than I would go for in a guitar. but I still think it is really cool and would not turn my nose up at it.

you know everyone at the other site will buy one now

Beautiful. I just wish they used the Mustang bridge instead of the Jaguar one underneath that cover. Their elongated version just isn't as pleasing as the lipstick tube 'Stang trem. Also prefer massive rocker switches.

That body language doesn't exactly scream 'I love this guitar' does it?
