maybe with paint it would look better

it's butt ugly?

It's a strat, therefore it's butt ugly by definition.

looks like an unpainted fender voodoo strat to me

I haven't played one flipped. It's got some appeal, simply because it isn't the same old thing.

Or Not.

It took me a few seconds to realise what was wrong with it. I think it's alright.

i've seen worse. looks better than a normal strat to my peepers. but then that wouldn't be incredibly difficult to achieve.

I fail to see how this design is anything other than flawed. Why have all the upper fret access on the 6th string and take away some on the treble side?

The strat is a good guitar. Why mess with it for the sake of goofyness (and I say this knowing about the Bender Distortocaster and that strat with the neck on the butt that has less fret access than this one.)?

You know what amazes me, the fact that some asshat probably spends over $1000 just having a weird custom strat like this built because they're on some search for some Jimi Hendrix tone holy grail thinking the tone is going to be any different with the higher joint on the treble side because Jimi played his flipped, then realizing the reason it still doesn't sound like him is because they forgot to flip the bridge pickup slant, all the while not realizing they really should just have spent that money on lessons instead and not look like an attention whore with too much money.
