aside from the strat jack, i kind of like it.

looks like it needs a JM/Jag trem

it reminds me of a melted jagstang, and is under $500

Back 6 years or so ago they tried making those with an intentionally twisted neck for ergonomic purposes. I notice they're not doing that anymore. Can't imagine why.

I hate to do the cliche thing of imagining what kind of player would use a certain type of guitar, but I can only see this one being used by snooty jazz fusion players.

The strat jack is quite possibly the only thing I like about it. I see a bitch headstock on a bitch body that just scream "look at me, I'm not a Fender but I am really lolz." 2 lace humbuckers (some of the most unnecessary pickups to ever make it that far past the "what if" phase) and what inexplicably appears to be a telecaster bridge for no reason, which is a trend with "let's design something radically different" nowadays: "let's go back to one of the earliest solidbody electric guitar designs ever and just fuck the shape".

STOP MAKING WEIRD TELES.

Twisted for your pleasure.

Radical for the sake of Radical is really a shitty reason to pick any design.

If they want to do something new, they should be focusing on ergonomics - it looks like there would be no forearm support on this model.

Let's all remember, form follows function.

i kind of like the shape of the body but i think it would look better if the top horn was rounded. also it needs a fender neck, different jack, non-tele bridge and non-chrome knobs. then it would be a cool guitar.

So a Jag-stang?

I think it looks hideous.

of course the more it looks like a jag-stang the better

I'm sure the cybercaster with the twisty neck looked nicer than this. Lace guitars are just generally retarted, generally.
