yeah looks awesome.

this is old news btw, before the FAIL barrage arrives.

edit: though i haven't seen it up on MF. $280 is a tasty price, I hope UK price is decent equivalent.

Definitely. With those alnico 5 pickups and maple 24' neck, its going to be the next great shortscale of our time.

ah, musician's friend have them now. i want one badly, but i'm broke and i'm not sure it's worth putting on the credit card.

I've said it before, but I'll say it differently.

Fucking beautiful. I would still mod it a little, though...

I don't mind this thread, as we hadn't seen that alternative picture before, and we hadn't really seen one for sale outside of that site that was really expensive. Plus this thing is sexy.

OK, ignore everything I said apart from the new picture.

I'm a gold anodized pickguard hater... but this color combination with the cream pickup covers actually goes really well. Dayumn!

What a lovely picture that is. It's a complete "come to bed" pose.

Fuck I need to get laid, this is getting ridiculous.

Niiiiiiiice. Kinda wished the bridge pup was angled and a bit closer to the bridge, likely to be a bit less snappy in that position.

My god. I don't think I've been this jealous about a right handed guitar. Fucking hell I wish my Mustang was that colour. Urghhh.

yea, I've always wondered why they did the duo sonic like that. the only theory I can think of is because it's a "student" guitar maybe they wanted the sound to be more middle of the road. Like they were trying to keep it simpler with less extreme options.
