Like a Dan Armstrong but *knock-knock* made of wood.

I quite like it, maybe I'm just a sucker for a gimmick.

I realise now this guitar was actually mentioned in the Plug-N-Play Taylor thread, but ne'ermind. Thoughts?

My dad really wants to justify getting one of these, although he already has the plexi version.

Victor Litz music has the white one (ash I think?) on sale for $319 shipped. if anyone wants one, get it now.

Mentioned a bunch of times but I like threads that Doog starts. They're usually classy.

I was very excited when the ads for this first hit the mags but have yet to see many around. I think I saw one in a shop by didn't play it for some reason. Love the look and reasonable prices.

OIC! :D

Too bad I blem all my funds on a toronado. Someone here should get one and do a real review talking about the neck width/feel and play something other than metal or blues on it.

2:20 in the video - I Will Dare by The Replacements. Love that song!

I like everything about this guitar, and didn't realise it was 24 3/4 scale.

Just saw on Sam Ash's website where they have "limited quantities" and are selling them for $300. Not even sure how good they are, but figured someone might be interested:

$300 is great! I liked them at $450.

I played a couple in Milwaukee - Loved the feel and everything. Really, really well made.

I was halfway considering buying one, but then decided to just borrow my dad's Plexi next time I'm home.
