Location: Phoenix AZ | This guitar was on display at NAMM. If I recall (will have to check photos), I think it had a list price on it of $10k. If that's the case than good 'ol Brother Robert is really trying to stick it to the congregation. Shame on him. Btw, the guitar looks better in the photos than it did in person. For $2k I might be tempted to hang it on a wall as a decoration. Or not.

Sorry to pat myself on the back, but I think the Darth Vader 2080 looks WAY better than this $25k poster job. I actually thought ME looked like Anne Murrey.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | A more interesting question might be this . . . if you did have $10,000 (and only $10,000) to spend on guitars, and you were starting from scratch, what would you buy, including second-hand purchases? |

Location: Omaha, NE | I hope no one here was involved in the production of that guitar, because I'm about to say something that's not nice. It looks like crap. The paint job looks like what I would expect from a high school art student's second attempt: The faces are mis-proportioned and the perspective on AD's guitar is pathetic.
Frankly, if this came from the factory (meaning the paint job is a factory commissioned thing, and not something that was added later by someone else) they should be ashamed. This thing is tacky in concept and amateurish in execution. |

Location: Omaha, NE | Well, were I really to have shared my honest opinion, it would have involved references to a "bullfighter emblazoned on black velvet", a "mural painted on the side of an illegal alien's van", and perhaps " Angelina Jollie as the Wal-Mart Madonna "
But I don't want to be unkind. |

Glenn C's deranged DWI photo
Melissa E's bald chemo photo
Al Di's stoned wild eyed late 70's photo
Then you'd have a keeper! |
