Location: Phoenix AZ | You need to see one of these in person. The paint job (if that's what you'd call it) is absolutely stunning. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but of all the painted guitars I've seen from various manufacturers over the years THIS one is top of the class. Dave |

Location: Winter Haven, FL | I'm not a big fan of guitar top artwork in general either, but this one really caught my eye. After seeing the response on here I can see why it was a limited run.
I wish I had the dough for that one, I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat. Until then...

| I prefer plain guitars - dot markers no diamonds etc.
However, I'd have to say that they did a really nice job on that one and got the graphic flowing just right - it's a simple enough concept but difficult to pull off really well with design etc and they nailed it, |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I remember seeing this when they came out at NAMM in 2002 I believe and several manufacturers had some sort of "flag" design at the time, but this one just put them all to shame. The graphic looks very 3D in person. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Pretty unique, but I would use it sparingly. Sure would have been on point at the PNW gathering over Independence Day. Asking price is much higher that I would be willing to shell out. Seriously, if this is something you really had to have, why not start with a nice A-braced Custom Legend and just hire a good painter to airbrush the graphics? Surely you could have something very similar for significantly less cost. |

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | I thought it was priced high at first too, but GC has a used one for $1999. So I guess that's what folks think they are worth.
I like it though. I like it a lot! |

| Lots of people do things on purpose but sometimes they're just wrong and having done it with a purpose doesn't make it right although - their's is the right to wrong as long as they don't hurt anyone in the process..lol |

Looks to me like he opened the case and took the photo.
Unfortunately, that is the way the case opens.
I just think that he needs better color/lighting/resolution for the photos.
But it might help someone get a good deal on that guitar. |

Yeah, it might keep the price down a bit based on the pictures not looking so great. Still, nice guitar though. |
