so wait.
they've got a pickguard to which the hardware is mounted, but they've also routed it all the way through so you can get to them from the back?
i don't know whether that's practical or retarded.

On the tigershark (a much cooler name for a guitar, plane, car... well anything) why would gibson make it ugly on purpose? They're caught between innovation (good in theory, but wildly misguided when we get guitars that fucking tune themselves) and pandering to the lawyers and dentists who can actually afford these guitars. The flamey brownola finish is well dodge.
