Granted it might feel a bit out of place out on the stoop of your log cabin (queue the music from 'Deliverance'...), but to me it looks like pure 'science-fiction'... and that is a good thing!! In the new pics, the top looks like a pool of mercury... very calming, lol |

Location: Phoenix AZ | You're never going to get everyone to feel the same about visual asthetics. This guitar (heck ANY guitar) will appeal to some, not to others.
There are members here who dislike the look of a carved adamas headstock. Who think a vintage D28 is plain looking. Some think wooden epaulets are gay. Don't like cutaways. Blah, blah, blah ...
Important thing is that you like what YOU play, otherwise you won't enjoy it and that defeats the whole purpose. What ever you might feel about someone ELSES guitar is just an opinion that in the grand scheme of things really doesn't matter. |

Only that... we now know the job was,
a) Done by someone we all agree knows his craft...
b) Done by someone who has enough sense not to ruin the audio characteristics of the guitar... (and NOT by some misguided zealot in his garage!!).
This way, the guitar can be assessed on it's own merits and you will either like or you don't... fair enough. |
