That's the weirdest shit ever. The bridge HB looks photoshopped, though, it's wild.
If you think of god as a pair of pants, a spiritualist thinks he needs pants, in fact he wants pants but none of the conventional types of pants seem to fit just right, so he makes his own pants and is happy that his knees are no longer cold.-fibus

Interesting at best. Mojo? Not for me. I actually bought one in the 90s (much cheaper than a les paul at the time) and sold it about a year later after almost never playing the thing.

If you can get one cheap, they play well and sound ok, but definitely never destined to be classic in my opinion. Cooler than the blueshawk at least though.

I had a black blueshawk with a bigsby and the two p90's as well as the varitone knob. It was my first "nice" electric guitar. It played really well and sounded great. The body was a little small/light for my taste though. I would pick one up if it ever came up again on craigslist
